Chest x-rays of one of our patients before and after PAMSHA therapy. This was a 67-year-old man who was admitted to our hospital for sudden dyspnea for one day. Based on detailed history collection and ancillary tests, COPD was confirmed. The picture on the left is the initial chest X-ray showing severe pneumothorax affecting half of his left lung. After two weeks of hospitalization, PAMSHA was injected intrapleurally. The picture on the right is the chest X-ray from 1 week after PAMSHA injection. It shows the complete removal of the gas and re-expansion of the lung. This confirmed the effectiveness of the method, and no severe adverse effects were reported in this patient
