Valvular bronchial blockade; Bleeding from tuberculous pulmonary cavities.

Пациент, мужчина 57 лет. В 2013 году получал лечение по поводу туберкулёза лёгких. Несколько месяцев назад у него появилось кровохарканье с эпизодами лёгочного кровотечения. Пациент постоянно получает гемостатическую терапию, на фоне которой развились непереносимость и коагулопатия.

В настоящее время вновь включён в противотуберкулёзную программу, так как является бактериовыделителем. Пациент консультирован торакальными хирургами, которые сочли оперативное вмешательство нецелесообразным ввиду высокого риска осложнений и возможного летального исхода.

Принято решение о выполнении бронхоблокации как единственно возможного метода лечения.

Под общим наркозом, с использованием ригидного бронхоскопа, в левый верхнедолевой бронх установлен клапан MEDLUNG №12.

Через 2 дня после манипуляции рентгенологически отмечено значительное уменьшение полостей распада и развитие ателектатических изменений в левой верхней доле, что подтверждает коллапсотерапевтический эффект клапана.
