CONGENITAL CHYLOTHORAX –SUCCESSFUL MANAGEMENT WITH CHEMICAL PLEURODESIS

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH, 2023
Congenital chylothorax in newborn is a rare disease but a common cause of pleural effusion in neonate. We report a case of congenital chylothorax associated with congenital heart disease in a term baby managed with intercostal drainage, octrotide and chemical pleurodesis.

Chemical Pleurodesis in Primary Spontaneous Pneumothorax

The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 1989
Spontaneous pneumothorax presents a high recurrence rate after conventional pleural drainage procedures. Different pleural scarifying agents are used in an attempt to prevent early and late recurrence. To investigate the effect of tetracycline and 30%-glucose, we conducted a randomized study on 20 patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax: 10 ...

Congenital Chylothorax - Successful management with chemical pleurodesis

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2010
Congenital chylothorax is a rare entity which is characterized by abnormal accumulation of chyle in pleural cavity. Chylothorax presenting as non-immune hydrops is even rarer. We report a case of congenital bilateral chylothorax presenting as non immune hydrops and managed successfully with chemical pleurodesis. A term male baby presented at birth with

The radiologic appearance of chemical pleurodesis.

Radiology, 1980
Intrapleural instillation of drugs (chemical pleurodesis) was performed in 57 patients with malignant pleural effusions or recurrent pneumothorax. Agents used included mechlorethamine hydrochloride (nitrogen mustard), quinacrine hydrochloride (Atabrine), tetracycline, and others.

Comparative evaluation of VATS assisted combined mechanical and chemical pleurodesis with chemical pleurodesis—is it worthwhile?

Indian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2013
Malignant Pleural Effusion (MPE) is a common terminal clinical problem in patients with advance cancer. Treatment options for MPE include observation, thoracocentesis, or pleurodesis. In the current study, we compared the effectiveness and safety of combined mechanical and chemical pleurodesis by Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) with ...

Chemical pleurodesis in the presence of persistent air leak

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1989
Persistent air leak makes chemical pleurodesis difficult because the chest tube cannot be clamped after drug instillation. A technique is described that obviates the need for clamping the chest tube in this setting.

The effect of iodopovidone versus bleomycin in chemical pleurodesis

Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals, 2018
Background Malignant pleural effusion continues to be a common problem in patients with metastatic disease. This study was conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of bleomycin pleurodesis with povidone-iodine pleurodesis through a chest drain as palliative treatment for recurrent malignant pleural effusion.

The use of an atomizer for chemical pleurodesis

ZAMP Zeitschrift f�r angewandte Mathematik und Physik, 1992
An atomizer had been designed that could create an aerosol of a liquid with high viscosity. The amount of additional driving gas that had to be used was very low. In a cooperation with the University Hospital in Zurich the atomizer was miniaturized and used for treating six patients.

Chemical Pleurodesis for Spontaneous Pneumothorax in a Patient with AIDS

AIDS Patient Care and STDs, 1996
Persistent air leak and failure of the lung to expand completely after closed thoracostomy complicate the course of spontaneous pneumothorax in patients with AIDS. In such cases, attempts to discontinue chest tube drainage may fail. The following is a case of a patient with AIDS and spontaneous pneumothorax who responded to chemical pleurodesis with ...
