简要总结
Prolonged air leak, defined as air leak present 5 days after lung resection, is one of the most common complications after lung resection. This leads to patient discomfort (as the chest tube has to stay in place while air leak is present), prolonged stay, and increased cost.
NeoVeil is a bioabsorbable glycolic acid which has been used in Japan and other Asian countries for air leak prevention after lung resections. NeoVeil is impregnated with fibrin sealant materials and is placed on the lung surface at the time of operation. It then acts as a scaffold on resected area which is prone to air leak.
This randomized clinical trial will be the first in the United States to test its efficacy for air leak prevention.
