Autologous Blood Pleurodesis Through an Indwelling Pleural Catheter for the Management of Prolonged Air Leak in a Malignant Hydropneumothorax

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2025.
Here we describe a novel management approach for persistent air‐leak in the setting of a malignant hydropneumothorax. Autologous blood pleurodesis via an indwelling pleuralcatheter appears to be a safe and effective treatment option for non‐surgical candidates and allows ongoing long‐term drainage of a malignant effusion and air leak.
