Late onset of biliobronchial fistula - a serious complication of hemihepatectomy for atrophic liver with hepatolithiasis: a case report and review of the literature.
J Cardiothorac Surg

Department of Radiology, Affiliated Hangzhou First People's Hospital, School of Medicine, Westlake University, Hangzhou, 310006, China.
Background: Acquired bronchobiliary fistula (BBF) is a rare but life-threatening complication that can occur as a result of oncological processes, inflammatory reactions, parasite infections, thoracoabdominal trauma, or invasive procedures associated with iatrogenic injury. However, the potential etiology of BBF caused by instrumental issues when using ultrasonic scalpels resulting in diathermy burn and its post-burn effects has never been reported.
Case Presentation: Herein, we present a case of a 65-year-old woman who developed BBF one month after hepatectomy and presented with refractory irritating cough accompanied by yellow bitter sputum.

Article Synopsis
- Self-expandable metallic stents (SEMS), specifically the new 3rd generation Bonastent, are gaining popularity for treating both malignant and nonmalignant airway stenosis, but research on their effectiveness and safety is still limited.
- A study conducted at two university hospitals reviewed data from 96 patients who received Bonastent placements from January 2019 to November 2023 to assess immediate and long-term outcomes.
- Results showed that 76% of patients experienced symptom improvement within a week, but early complications included airway bleeding and stent migration, while late complications involved mucus plugging and granulation tissue issues.

A non-functional middle mediastinal paraganglioma is a rare entity. We describe a case of a 67-year-old woman with a diagnosis of a big mediastinal paraganglioma by endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspiration after chest CT and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography. The nine centimeter in length tumor was located between the superior vena cava and the posterior portion of the ascending aorta, compressing the left atrium and the trachea and main left bronchus, posteriorly, surrounding the right pulmonary artery.
