A large central bronchopleural fistula (BPF) surrounded by mediastinal tissue was successfully closed by local administration of recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor (rbFGF) using the bronchoscope. No complications were observed during and after this bronchoscopic treatment. This is the first report of the bronchoscopic treatment of a large central BPF by the local spray of rbFGF. The bronchoscopic treatment with rbFGF is a potentially cost-effective method for central BPF surrounded by mediastinal tissue.
