Endoscopic treatment of bronchobiliary fistula: report on 11 cases.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: There are reports of treatment of biliary cutaneous fistulae by endoscopically placed nasobiliary drains. We report our fistulae treatment results from this method. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We treated 11 patients with bronchobiliary fistulas (BBFs) endoscopically during the last 6 years. In most cases, the BBF's were the result of Hydatid cyst operations. Six patients had simultaneous biliocutaneous fistula (BCF). RESULTS: All BBFs and BCFs closed after the nasobiliary drain placement without any complication. Three patients who developed fistula recurrence healed with endoscopic treatment. CONCLUSION: Endoscopic treatment is a viable alternative to surgical treatment.

Budd-Chiari syndrome in a child secondary to membranous obstruction of the hepatic vein treated by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. Report of a case.

Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) due to membranous obstruction of the hepatic vein and the inferior vena cava is rare in children. We report a child with BCS that had a membranous obstruction at the level of the hepatic veins. The web was successfully dilated percutaneously by balloon catheters. Symptoms and signs of obstruction improved without any complication. As percutaneous catheterization is an effective, safe and repatable procedure, we recommend this technique for treatment of children and adults with BCS due to membranous obstruction of the hepatic veins.
