Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2009
The technique and clinical applications of medical thoracoscopy have substantially evolved in the last few decades. The recent development of a semirigid thoracoscope, which is handled similarly to a bronchoscope, has made this procedure more attractive to pulmonologists.

In summary, thoracoscopy offers several possibilities for diagnostic and therapeutic uses. Thoracoscopy helps in the diagnosis of pleural-based malignancy or tuberculosis with a high degree of accuracy when routine studies and closed needle pleural biopsies have failed. In patients in whom adequate visualization is possible, an unequivocal pathological

Respiration, 2008
As opposed to ‘video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery’ which requires general anesthesia, double-lumen tracheal intubation and single lung ventilation, medical thoracoscopy (or ‘pleuroscopy’) is frequently performed in the respiratory endoscopy suite using local anesthesia.

Ultrasound and Medical Thoracoscopy [PDF]
, 2009 Ultrasound is a very useful adjunct to medical thoracoscopy. It allows a real-time assessment of the complexity of the pleural space at the bedside. This in turn minimizes complications and maximizes safety. Traditionally, the induction of a pneumothorax was necessary prior to beginning the medical thoracoscopy in order to minimize the risk of injury ...

Sudden death during medical thoracoscopy
Journal of Forensic and Legal Medicine, 2014Medical thoracoscopy (or pleuroscopy) is a valuable diagnostic tool in patients with pleural pathology, being minimally invasive, inexpensive and relatively easy to learn. Complications may occur, depending on the complexity of the case, and mainly include broncho-pleural fistulas, chest infections, arrhythmia, severe hemorrhage due to blood vessel ...

Follicular Lymphoma Diagnosed With Medical Thoracoscopy
Journal of Bronchology & Interventional Pulmonology, 2016Non-Hodgkin lymphomas may present with a recurrent pleural effusion, usually with involvement of other thoracic or extrathoracic sites. Lymphomas typically presenting with pleural disease include primary effusion lymphoma and pyothorax-associated lymphoma.

The Frontier of Medical Thoracoscopy
2013Advanced procedures in medical thoracoscopy are best described as nonroutine. They are interventions associated with greater complexity and lie somewhere between the medical procedure of thoracoscopy and the surgical procedure of VATS. The current advanced indications as described in the literature include sympathectomy and pericardial window.

Ultrasound for Medical Thoracoscopy
2013The method for thoracoscopy described since Jacobaeus performed his first routine medical thoracoscopies depends upon being able to access the pleural space, which if absent relies upon the induction of a pneumothorax (Marchetti et al. 2011). Inducing a pneumothorax was frequently performed immediately prior to the procedure or more classically on the ...

Medical thoracoscopy/pleuroscopy
2012Medical thoracoscopy/pleuroscopy (MT/P), compared with surgical thoracoscopy (VATS), has the advantage that it can be performed under local anesthesia or conscious sedation, in an endoscopy suite, using nondisposable rigid (or semirigid) instruments. Thus, it is considerably less expensive.
