Simple blood patch could prevent painful drains after lung cancer procedure
NCT ID NCT06651658
Summary
This study is testing a technique called a 'pleural blood patch' to reduce a common side effect of lung tumor ablation. During ablation, a needle is used to destroy tumors, but it can sometimes puncture the lung, causing it to collapse and requiring a painful chest drain. Researchers will see if injecting a small amount of the patient's own blood at the needle site can seal the hole and prevent this complication. The goal is to help patients recover faster, possibly go home the same day, and avoid the discomfort and risks of a chest drain.
