Sponsor's own description
Iatrogenic Pulmonary Parenchymal chest Tube (PPcT) placement is a recognized but underreported complication of tube thoracostomy, described both in the subcontinent and worldwide. This complication occurs when the chest tube inadvertently traverses the pleural cavity and penetrates the lung parenchyma. Patients with underlying lung pathology are at increased risk of having iatrogenic pulmonary parenchymal chest tube. In this study we describe the safe and minimally invasive technique to remove the PPcT without the need of video assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) or thoracotomy.
