Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the factors associated with the closure of the postpneumonectomy bronchopleural fistula in patients with empyema.
Methods: Analytical observational study in which 28 medical records of patients undergoing surgical management of post-pneumonectomy bronchopleural fistula (BPF) were evaluated.
Results: The mean age was 43 years ± 12, the male sex was the most frequent (85.7%). The association of the right BPF and failure to close showed a Chi2 of 6.25 (p= 0.01); and regarding the association of the length of the bronchial stump greater than or equal to 1.5 cm and the success in closing the BPF, a Chi2 of 9.17 was obtained (p= 0.002).
Conclusions: The type of surgical management, the length of the bronchial stump and the left location of the BPF were factors associated with successful closure of the postpneumonectomy BPF in this study.
