What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this study is to evaluate the real-world safety and effectiveness of combining endobronchial valve (IBV) placement with endobronchial blood patching (EBP) for the treatment of persistent air leaks (PALs) in adult patients undergoing bronchoscopy. PALs are a challenging condition often associated with prolonged hospital stays, increased morbidity, and delayed recovery. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Does the combination of endobronchial valve placement and endobronchial blood patching accelerate resolution of persistent air leaks? * What are the procedural outcomes, complications, and hospital-related metrics (e.g., chest tube duration, length of stay, and readmission rates) associated with this technique? Participants will: * Undergo standard-of-care bronchoscopy with identification of air leak source. * Receive intrabronchial instillation of autologo
