The Size of Spontaneous Pneumothorax is a Predictor of Unsuccessful Catheter Drainage

Abstract Small-bore thoracic catheter drainage is recommended for a first large or symptomatic episode of primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP). However, one-third of these patients require a second procedure because of treatment failure. We investigated the factors associated with unsuccessful pig...
