Fig 1 Bronchoscopic view demonstrating the porcine dermal collagen (PDC) patch after placement in the affected right lower bronchus using a bronchoscopic grasper. Manipulation of the PDC for correct positioning was done using the blunt tip of the endoscopic applicator (lower left) instead of the bronchoscopic grasper to minimize injury to the bronchial tree.
