and controversies confronting pulmonologists on clinical care. This session highlights topical issues on which opinions are polarized and management heterogeneous worldwide. Leaders in the field debate the evidence that support (or not) common practice. In particular, [1] conservative (non-drainage) approach for spontaneous pneumothorax challenges conventional drainage algorithm (PSP trial NEJM 2020); [2] intrapleural tPA/DNase therapy questions need for surgical drainage of empyema; and [3] indwelling pleural catheter pleurodesis presents an alternative to VAT surgical pleurodesis for malignant pleural effusions.

Understand the pros and cons of conservative management versus traditional drainage approach, and new ambulatory drainage devices • learn about advances in pleural infection care. Understand the pros and cons of intrapleural tPA/DNase therapy versus traditional surgical drainage, and areas of knowledge gaps • learn about advances in malignant pleural effusion management. Understand the pros and cons of indwelling pleural catheter (with talc instillation) versus video assisted thoracoscopic surgery The past decade saw an unprecedented number of randomized trials published on pleural medicine. These advances bring new questions
