ABSTRACT
Thoracic trauma victims commonly sustain visceral pleural injury with resultant pneumothorax. These injuries usually respond to standard tube thoracostomy decompression and drainage. However, a subset of these patients develop recurrent and/or loculated pneumothoraces or pneumatoceles that are not readily accessible by tube thoracostomy. Percutaneous catheter drainage of these collections provides a safe and reliable method of management in critically ill patients.
