Successful thoracoscopic operative approach for refractory pneumothorax in interstitial lung disease under local anaesthesia.
Respirology Case Reports 2024 March
Refractory pneumothorax associated with interstitial lung disease (ILD) remains a challenging condition due to the patient's tolerability and lung compliance that restrict the feasibility of aggressive interventions. Additionally, many cases recur after improvement with treatment, and reports of successful management for this complicated condition are limited. Herein, we report the case of a 60-year-old man with ILD, utilizing home oxygen therapy, who experienced a successful recovery from a surgical intervention under local anaesthesia for pneumothorax. This case highlights the potential for operative intervention under local anaesthesia as a viable option for patients who do not respond to internal approaches.
