ABSTRACT
Persistent air leaks (PALs) are regarded as a frequent complication after thoracic surgery resulting in prolonged hospitalization and increased morbidity. Several more or less invasive therapeutic approaches are available for treatment of PAL with varying degrees of success. The endoscopic placement of one-way intrabronchial valves in the segment(s) in which the air leak has been located offers a highly effective and well-tolerated minimal invasive option for patients with PAL.
