Risk factors and outcomes of prolonged air leak after pulmonary resections.


ABSTRACT: Purpose:Prolonged air leak (PAL) is a challenging complication in thoracic surgery. The aim of this study was to analyze the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of PAL. Methods:We retrospectively analyzed 319 patients treated in a single center submitted to lobectomy, bilobectomy, segmentectomy, and wedge resections from January 2012 until August 2015. PAL was defined as air leak lasting more than 7 days after surgery. Results:The incidence of PAL was 14.7%. Bronchial obstruction (p?
