Abstract
Small-bore chest tube placement is the treatment of choice for iatrogenic pneumothorax greater than 20% or less than 20% when symptomatic or occurring in patients with emphysema. The procedure is easy, effective, and well tolerated; furthermore, it shortens the hospital stay. The effectiveness of the procedure makes it possible to safely perform percutaneous procedures on patients with emphysema or difficult lesions and to finish an interventional procedure when pneumothorax occurs.
