Fig 1 Bronchoscopic photograph showing a bronchopleural fistula in a patient who underwent pneumonectomy with the conventional stapling method. Note the two pinhole fistulas in the center of the main bronchus where the membranous portion was stretched. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , DOI: ( /S (98) )
