Abstract
Bronchobiliary fistula is a serious complication of echinococcosis of the liver. Surgical and endoscopic treatments have been used successfu lly in the management of bronchobiliary fistula due to hepatic hydatid cysts, However, very little information exists on the management of b ronchobiliary fistula due to alveolar hydatid disease. We report here the efficacy of various potential therapies in three cases. (C) 1998 b y Am. Cell. of Gastroenterology.
