pubmed-article:14654496 | pubmed:abstractText | This case of a recurrent bronchobiliary fistula was first managed temporarily with repeated metallic biliary stent placement, and finally required surgery. A 65-year-old man, who had undergone a hepatic resection for metastatic colon carcinoma, with a bronchobiliary fistula was treated with metallic biliary stent placement for a stenosis in the common bile duct. During 16 months of follow-up, the biliptysis recurred twice by a recurrent stricture of the common bile duct, which was managed by placement of a second and third stent in a coaxial manner. Three months after placement of the third stent, jaundice developed and the patient finally underwent a Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy. | lld:pubmed |
