CT scans of one of our patients before and after PAMSHA therapy. This was a 61-year-old man who presented with shortness of breath and a history of COPD. His initial chest CT (image on the left) showed a lot of free gas in the pleural space and bullae in the left side of the lung. General support, including oxygenation and antimicrobials, was provided to this patient before PAMSHA pleurodesis, and 5 days after PAMSHA injection, his breathing improved. A repeat chest CT scan was performed that showed the disappearance of the free gas in his chest and full re-expansion of the previously compressed lung (right image)
