Description
Aurimas Macionis and co-authors test a sealing trick in a 2024 lung procedure study. Heating a lung tumor through a needle, guided by scans, can treat cancer without open surgery. A common problem is air leaking into the chest space, which can mean more tests, longer stays, and higher costs.
Twenty one patients had 26 treatment sessions for lung cancer. After each burn, the needle path was sealed with a clot made from the patient's own vein blood. The team tracked problem rates and what raised or lowered risk. A seal made from the patient's own blood is cheap and always at hand, if it proves to cut leaks.
