Several studies have been published describing the clinical and radiographic findings of coronavirus disease 2019-related pneumonia. Therefore, there is currently a lack of pathologic data on its effects in intubated patients. Pneumothorax may occur rarely and results from a combination of fibrotic parenchyma and prolonged high-pressure ventilation. Chest drainage represents first-line treatment. However, in cases of persistent pneumothorax, thoracoscopy and bleb resection may be feasible options to reduce air leak and improve ventilation. This report describes the cases of 2 patients with coronavirus disease 2019 who were successfully treated with thoracoscopy, bleb resection, and pleurectomy for persistent pneumothorax.
