Endobronchial closure of broncho-biliary fistula using Amplatzer device: Case report

Broncho-biliary fistula (BBF) is an extremely rare but serious medical condition resulting from pathological communication between the biliary system and the bronchial tree. Treatment options include both surgical and non-surgical approaches. Several endobronchial techniques, such as the spigot and...

description Broncho-biliary fistula (BBF) is an extremely rare but serious medical condition resulting from pathological communication between the biliary system and the bronchial tree. Treatment options include both surgical and non-surgical approaches. Several endobronchial techniques, such as the spigot and glue, can be used for this purpose. This report discusses a patient who developed a broncho-biliary fistula following a liver biopsy. The BBF was diagnosed during bronchoscopy and successfully treated with an endobronchial Amplatzer device. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the use of the Amplatzer device to manage BBF.
