Intrabullous Adhesion Pexia (IBAP) by Percutaneous Pulmonary Bulla Centesis: An Alternative for the Surgical Treatment of Giant Pulmonary Bulla (GPB)

<div>Case 8 and case 17 (patient 7) of GPB. The 65-year-old male patient, who was complicated by COPD, cor pulmonale, hernia of ventral wall, and rectal carcinoma, had two target GPBs in each side of the lung (thick arrows) (a). He accepted the first IBAP for the right GPB in February 2007 (thick arrow) (b) and the second IBAP for the left GPB in December 2008 (thick arrow) (c). No bulla recurred until he died of rectal carcinoma in March 2010.</div>
