| | CHEST: Closure of a postpmeumonectomy main bronchus fistula using video-assisted mediastinal surgery |
 | | We conclude that closure of a main bronchus fistula using VAMS in patients with a short bronchial stump is a promising technique that deserves further development. | | | After an anatomical and experimental study on cadavers designed to test the technical feasibility of left and right main bronchus fistula closure using video-assisted mediastinal surgery (VAMS), we used this technique successfully in a patient with a fistula of the left main bronchus. | | | Closure of a postpmeumonectomy main bronchus fistula using video-assisted mediastinal surgery |

| | BRONCHUS & BRONCHIOLE |
| | Below a diameter of about 0.5 mm, the smooth muscle in the wall has sufficient tone to prevent collapse; and a "bronchiole" (the term is a diminutive, indicating a smaller version of the bronchus) is an air passageway whose walls contain only smooth muscle as a reinforcement. | | | The principal structural difference between a "bronchus" and a "bronchiole" is the presence or absence of hyaline cartilage as a reinforcement in the wall. | | | In bronchi, the tube diameter is comparatively large, and to prevent collapse as the lungs expand, it's necessary to add some stiffness; this is the role of the cartilage plates, which decrease in size as the caliber of the bronchi does. |

| | Bronchus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A bronchus (plural bronchi, adjective bronchial) is a caliber of airway in the respiratory tract that conducts air into the lungs. | | | The main bronchi subdivide into two and three secondary bronchi that each serve the left and right lungs, respectively. | | | The trachea (windpipe) divides into two main bronchi, the left and the right, at the level of the sternal angle. |
