Study Overview
Brief Summary
Post-market, observational study to assess effectiveness of TissuePatch SF in managing/preventing air leaks after lung resection.
Detailed Description
Post-market study conducted to assess the continuing effectiveness and safety of TissuePatch SF when used as an adjunct to standard suture/staple closure of clinically significant (Macchiarini Grade ≥1) intra-operative visceral pleural air leaks incurred during lobectomy and segmentectomy (open or minimally invasive), including those performed as video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), in adults.

Arms & Interventions
Patients with intra-operative air leak detected during lung resection
Intervention: TissuePatch Sealant Film (Device)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Intra-operative air leaks
Time Frame: Prior to the completion of surgery
Air leaks successfully sealed or reduced as assessed by a submersion air leak test
Secondary Outcomes
- Overall device safety(3-months post surgery)
- Overall device safety(6-months post-surgery)
