Bronchial Fistula Clinical Trial
Official title:
Human Amniotic Epithelial Cells for Treatment of Bronchial Fistula
Bronchial fistula (BF), an abnormal passage or communication between a bronchus and another
part of the body, may develop when there are penetrating wounds of the thorax and after lung
surgery. Without effective therapy, treatment of BF is a challenge, with a high rate of
mortality and teratogenicity.
The investigators will conduct endoscopic injection of human amniotic epithelial cells to
fistula, observe the recovery of bronchial fistula and systemic reactions, to investigate
the application of human amniotic epithelial cells in the treatment of bronchial fistula.
