Sumario:Pneumothorax and persistent air leak are documented complications of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. Patients who fall into this category are often poor candidates for invasive thoracic surgical intervention. Endobronchial valves offer an effective and less invasive treatment option and can successfully treat persistent air leak and support the weaning of patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 pneumonia off ventilation.
