Abstract in brief

The text discusses how pneumothorax, a collapsed lung, can occur in COVID-19 patients, particularly due to lung damage and the use of high-pressure ventilation, and highlights that managing these cases is challenging with limited studies available.
It explains that while chest drains are typically the first treatment, persistent cases with ongoing air leaks might require advanced procedures like thoracoscopic surgery or the insertion of endobronchial valves, which is a less invasive option.
The authors present what appears to be the first documented case where endobronchial valves were used to treat a COVID-19 patient with a pneumothorax, suggesting this could be a promising alternative in managing complex cases.]
