OBJECTIVE

To summarize our experience in transsternal occlusion of main bronchus fistula.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

We have performed 146 transsternal occlusions of the main bronchi for the period from 1979 to 2018. There were 123 (84.2%) men and 23 (15.7%) women. Mean age of patients was 63 years. Lung tuberculosis was diagnosed in 36 (24.7%) patients, lung cancer — 91 (62.3%) patients, non-specific suppurative lung diseases — 14 (9.6%) patients, trauma — 5 (3.4%) patients. All patients underwent transsternal occlusion of the main bronchi fistulae with or without pericardial cavity dissection. Wedge-shaped bronchial resection or tracheal bifurcation resection were carried out for a short stump fistula.

RESULTS

Perioperative complications occurred in 28 (19.2%) out of 146 patients. Intraoperative complications developed in 4 (2.6%) patients. Postoperative complications were observed in 25 (17.1%) patients. Intraoperative mortality rate was 1.4% (n=2), postoperative mortality — 6.2% (n=9). Thus, overall mortality rate was 7.6% (n=11 It should be noted that intraoperative complications were absent if dissection of the pericardium and pulmonary artery stump ligation were not performed.

CONCLUSION

Transsternal occlusion of the main bronchi fistulae was successful in 80.8% of patients. In these cases, healing of fistulae was not associated with any complications. Thus, we believe that transsternal occlusion of the main bronchial stump fistula should be considered as preferable surgical strategy.
