The most common complication of this procedure is pneumothorax with a prevalence of up to ±34% of the treated patients. Patients who develop a pneumothorax also...

...; Toshihiro Shirai; Hiroshi Hayakawa; Hidenori Nakamura; Takafumi Suda Background: Idiopathic pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (PPFE) is a rare form of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia that is characterized by predominantly upper lobe pleural and subpleural lung parenchymal fibrosis. Pneumothorax is one...

...%). The mean age was 69 years with a performance status of mostly 2 or better (80.0%), and 6 cases (40.0%) were complicated by pneumothorax. Subpleural cavities were radiologically detected in 11 cases (73.3%), and extrapulmonary air-fluid level was detected in 14 cases (93.3%). Eleven patients were treated...

... with advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and severe hyperinflation. The use of endobronchial valves is increasing, as well as the number of reports of adverse events. The most common complications after the procedure are a pneumothorax, bleeding, infections, the need for valve removal, and valve...

... (DPLDs) when a confident noninvasive diagnosis cannot be made. The 2 most relevant complications of TBLC are bleeding and pneumothorax (PTX). The accuracy of chest ultrasonography (US) for the detection of PTX is higher when compared to chest X-ray (CXR) with reference to computed tomography (CT) scan...

In our hospital, outpatient treatment of pneumothorax using a thoracic vent began in December 2012. Objectives: We aimed...

... outcome measures. However, in cases of rapid TLVR, the risk of pneumothorax increases due to parenchymal rupture of the adjacent untreated lobe. Target lobe collapse may be more likely in EBV-treated patients who have low collateral ventilation. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact...

... of complications associated with the procedure, such as postprocedural pneumothorax. There is, however, little evidence of pneumothorax management in patients with severe COPD and emphysema. This report describes an expert recommendation that has been developed to outline pneumothorax management after valve...
