Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of closing bronchopleural fistulas with devices originally developed for correction of cardiac septal defects deployed through bronchoscopic procedures.
Interventions
Patients with bronchopleural fistulas will be submitted to a bronchoscopic procedure to deploy the cardiac septal defect occluder in the fistula traject.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Closure of tracheobronchial fistulas with the Occlutech Figulla ASD N occluder | 1 year | The closure of the fistulas will be bronchoscopically observed at regular intervals: one week, three weeks, two months and six months. At the third months post intervention, a thorax CT scan will ascertain the correct position and stability of the device. |
