Chest tubes are routinely required after surgical procedures for lung cancer. This device is a flexible plastic tube that is inserted through the chest wall to remove air or fluid from around your lungs after surgery for lung cancer. There are two general strategies associated with the clinical management of chest tubes, active and passive suction. If suction is compared to driving a car, active suction is similar to pressing the gas pedal while passive suction is like letting your car move on its own. The suction approach taken by surgeons largely depends on how they were trained and some personal biases and beliefs. However there is no general consensus about which chest tube management strategy is best. This research aims to compare two settings on a digital drainage system, a low suction (LS) mode - passive suction - and standard suction (ss) mode - active suction. From the data collected, the researchers will analyze whether LS or SS will lead to a better recovery after surgery.

The use of drug coated balloon (DCB) in patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) and tissue loss has recently raised some concerns after the IN.PACT deep trial using paclitaxel coated balloon angioplasty in the tibial arteries was terminated. The investigators objective is to establish the safety and efficacy of drug coated balloon (DCB) for femoropopliteal occlusive disease in patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) and tissue loss.
