Summary: Dehiscence of the bronchial stump as well as the tracheo-bronchial-pleural fistula is a rare but life-threatening complication
of pulmonary resections. Absence of the immediately accessible well vascularized soft tissues makes successful
direct resuture of the bronchial stump or local closure of the defect problematic, particularly in the infected
terrain. The authors describe a case study of successful closure of the tracheo-bronchial defect with the use of
pediculated latissimus dorsi muscle in a cachectic 63-year-old patient after a right-side pneumonectomy.
