ABSTRACT
A 57-year-old female was admitted with compliant of cough and body weight loss. Chest X-ray and thoracic computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a collapsed lung and pleural effusion. We diagnosed a pleulitis carcinomatosis. After right chest tube drainage was performed, she developed right intractable pneumothorax. It was occluded endobronchially by the placement of vascular embolization coils and histoacryl. This method is thought to be an effective treatment for intractable pneumothorax patients in endstage of lung cancer.
