“…The plugging of the fistula under bronchoscope guidance has the advantages of less trauma and quick recovery. At present, it is mainly used in adult ABBF, and there are few reports in children (14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19). Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery in the treatment of CBBF can provide an unparalleled surgical vision compared to thoracotomy.…”

“…BBF cases treated with a bronchoscopic approach have been reported in recent years [11][12][13]. Histoacryl, n-butyl cyanoacrylate, and bronchus occlusion implants made of nickel titanium were used for embolization of fistula tracts in these cases.…”

Bronchobiliary fistula (BBF) is a rare condition in which an abnormal communication exists between the bile ducts and the bronchial tree. Malignancy is the most common etiology of BBF, although many others are possible. A 74-year-old male patient with an inoperable Klatskin tumor presented with a complaint of yellow-green sputum and cough; the patient underwent fiber-optic bronchoscopy based on a preliminary diagnosis of bronchobiliary fistula. Using fiber-optic rigid bronchoscopy, the laterobasal segment of the lower right lung lobe was occluded using three pieces of 5-mm Endobronchial Watanabe Spigot. Bile drainage subsequently ceased. A bronchoscopic approach provides an alternative option for BBF treatment, particularly in patients who choose not to undergo surgery, or for whom surgery is not an option due to their underlying general condition.
