- Abstract
A minimally invasive alternative to surgery for treating pneumothorax has been developed, aiming to reduce risks while maintaining efficacy. This study conducted basic experiments using ex vivo and in vivo pig lung employing a super-thin catheter for treatment. This new device injects fibrin glue directly into the responsible lesion to close the air leak, which has two features: thin design and double-lumen.
