Significance of the lobe-specific emphysema index to predict prolonged air leak after anatomical segmentectomy

Prolonged air leak (PAL) is a major complication of pulmonary resection. Emphysema quantification with computed tomography is regarded as an important predictor of PAL for patients undergoing lobectomy. Therefore, we investigated whether this predictor might be applicable for segmentectomy. Herein,...
