Overview

Retrospective analysis reveals trends in endobronchial valve and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for bronchopulmonary fistulas, highlighting differing mortality outcomes.

Key Points

  • Endobronchial valve use significantly increased from 65 to 230 cases annually, indicating a growing preference.
  • Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery patients showed a reduced mortality trend (P=0.041) from 2016 to 2021.
  • Length of stay and total cost remained stable for both procedures, suggesting consistent economic implications.
  • Retrospective analysis of 13,245 patients with BPF utilized national data from 2016 to 2021 for robust insights.
