Acellular dermal matrix closure of catastrophic bronchopleural fistula.

Abstract
Early, complete disruption of bronchial closure is a rare complication after pulmonary resection that will result in almost certain death if immediate intervention is not taken. We present a case of a catastrophic bronchopleural fistula that was successfully closed using an Alloderm patch (LifeCell Corp, Branchburg, NJ) in the acute setting.
