Successful Combined Autologous Blood and Minocycline Pleurodesis for Intractable Bilateral Pneumothorax in an Elderly Patient With Combined Pulmonary Fibrosis and Emphysema: A Case Report [PDF]
Respirology Case ReportsBilateral pneumothorax in elderly patients with combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) is rare and often precludes surgery. We report an 86‐year‐old man with CPFE and a persistent air leak unresponsive to tube drainage. Combined pleurodesis via

Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE)
Bangladesh Critical Care Journal, 2017 Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) is rare but increasingly recognized condition characterized by simultaneous coexistence of both upper lobe predominant emphysema and diffuse pulmonary fibrosis mainly in lower lobe. Patients with CPFE are usually heavy smokers or former smokers. HRCT has a pivotal role in diagnosis.

The impact of emphysema in pulmonary fibrosis [PDF]
European Respiratory Review, 2013 Several groups have described a syndrome in which idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) coexists with pulmonary emphysema. This comes as no surprise since both diseases are associated with a history of exposure to cigarette smoke.

The Impact of Lung Cancer in Patients with Combined Pulmonary Fibrosis and Emphysema (CPFE). [PDF]
J Clin Med, 2023 Given the high risk of lung cancer (LC) in patients with combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE), and the difficulty of early diagnosis, it is important to understand the impact of LC in these patients. The effect of LC on the development of acute exacerbation (AE) as a natural course of CPFE is still unknown.
