A 53 year old patient in chronic dialysis underwent a left pneumonectomy for bronchial carcinoma. This was followed by a bronchopleural fistula. Despite the very poor condition of the patient closure of the fistula was obtained by means of a flap of the large omentum. This is a simple procedure easily tolerated by the patient and that could also be used in less complicated cases.
