Description
Four surgeons describe a 2023 case of a dangerous leak between an airway and the space around the lung. The leak, called a fistula, formed in a fifty-nine-year-old man fourteen years after part of his lung was removed during care for a fungal illness. Such leaks carry a high risk of death and need fast repair.
Doctors confirmed the leak with a scope and dye, then closed it through the breastbone and the sac around the heart. No single best method exists for this repair. The case shows that the route through the chest center can work well and gives surgical teams one more sound choice.
