TissuePatch SF to prevent air leaks after lung surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at whether TissuePatch SF can prevent air leaks after lung surgery. You may be able to join if you are having planned lung surgery and fit the health requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 79 years old.
- You are scheduled for a planned (not emergency) lung surgery using a scope through small cuts in your chest.
- You are willing to follow all study procedures and sign a consent form.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and if you could become pregnant, you agree to use birth control for 6 months after surgery.
- You do not have severe heart, lung, kidney, blood, or liver disease, and do not have an active infection near the surgery site.
- You have not had a whole lung removed before (pneumonectomy), and you do not have a bronchial fistula or allergy to the study patch.

This study tests whether a new medical glue called TenaTac® can safely prevent air leaks after lung surgery. You may be eligible if you're scheduled for a lobectomy and your surgeon plans to use a special glue.
This study looks at whether an “autologous blood patch” (using your own blood) can help stop an air leak after certain lung operations. It’s designed for adults who still have an air leak on the morning of the third day after surgery.
This study tests a special ventilation method during lung surgery to see if it can predict air leaks after the procedure. If successful, it could help patients recover more smoothly after a lobectomy or segmentectomy.
This study is testing a new tool that checks for air leaks in the chest tube placed after lung surgery. An air leak can slow down recovery, and this device may help doctors detect it more accurately.
This trial is for people with a collapsed lung (pneumothorax) that has a persistent air leak. It tests whether talc or a blood patch can seal the leak and help the lung re-inflate.
This trial tests a two-step procedure that uses small valves and a blood patch to close persistent air leaks in the lung. It could be an option for people who cannot have or don't want surgery.
