Patients with secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) complicated by persistent air leak (PAL) and who are poor surgical candidates have limited treatment options. This case series explored autologous blood patch pleurodesis as a possible cost-effective management option. A total of 46 episodes of SSP with PAL were included. The procedure was successful in 33 (71.7%). Of these, 17 (51.5%) resolved within 1 day. The mean duration of intercostal drainage prior to the blood patch was 22 days in the successful group. Pneumothoraces with incomplete lung re-expansion at the time of procedure were successful in 20 of 30 (66.7%). Only human immunodeficiency virus infection was associated with failure (<i>p</i> = 0.03). Adverse events included transient fever (<i>n</i> = 3) that resolved spontaneously, and empyema (<i>n</i> = 3) which were successfully managed with antibiotics and pigtail drainage. We conclude that a large proportion of patients with SSP complicated by PAL who are unfit for surgery may be liberated from intercostal drainage by an autologous blood patch pleurodesis, with minimal adverse effects.
