Fractured Indwelling Pleural Catheters
Indwelling pleural catheters (IPCs) are increasingly used in the management of malignant pleural effusions. IPCs are designed to be secured in situ indefinitely; however, in selected patients, IPCs can be removed when drainage ceases. This case series reports complications of removal of IPCs that resulted in fractured catheters or necessitated ...

Fibrinolysis with Lower Dose Urokinase in Patients with Complicated Parapneumonic Effusion [PDF]
Background Intrapleural urokinase is one of the most widely used fibrinolytic agents in the treatment of complicated parapneumonic effusion (CPPE). However, little research has been performed on the optimal urokinase dosage.

Complications of indwelling chemotherapy catheters [PDF]
AbstractFifty consecutive chemotherapeutic infusions for cancer via percutaneously introduced arterial catheters were reviewed to determine the frequency of angiographic and clinical complications related to the indwelling catheter. Fibrin cloaking along the catheter was found in 20 patients studied by pull‐out arteriography and was unassociated with ...
