Efficacy and Safety of Combined Autologous Blood and Minocycline Pleurodesis for Intractable Pneumothorax in High-Risk Non-Surgical Patients: A Case Series. [PDF]

Respirol Case Rep
This case series suggests that sequential, non‐mixed autologous blood plus minocycline pleurodesis is a feasible option for intractable secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) in high‐risk, nonsurgical patients, many of whom had ILD and/or severe COPD.

Pleural Metastases From Acral Lentiginous Melanoma Diagnosed by Medical Thoracoscopy. [PDF]

Respirol Case Rep
We present a rare case of metastatic acral lentiginous melanoma involving the pleural space, in which definitive diagnosis was established by medical thoracoscopy, highlighting its value in evaluating atypical pleural metastases. ABSTRACT Acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM) with pleural metastases is rare and under‐recognised.

Pleurabrade: A Spiral Brush for Mechanical Pleurodesis and a Review of the Literature

The Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgeon Reports, 2021
Background While the optimal treatment for primary spontaneous pneumothorax remains unclear, mechanical pleurodesis is a well-established treatment. The Pleurabrade is a spiral brush designed for mechanical pleurodesis during thoracoscopy. We present two

Assessment of diaphragmatic mobility by chest ultrasound and basic echocardiography in patients with malignant pleural effusion undergoing pleurodesis

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2022
Background Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is prevalent, and in cases such as aging patients as well as increased long-term survival for metastatic cancers, the number of patients will continue to elevate in the near future.

Evaluation of pleurodesis by poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) gel in an animal model using New Zealand white rabbits

Asian Journal of Surgery, 2019
Summary: Background/Purpose: Pleurodesis with biomaterial implant is an emerging treatment method for pleural diseases. However, the ideal biomaterial or the optimal form for the common diseases is still under investigation.

The impact of repeated thoracentesis on the outcome of chemical pleurodesis in malignant pleural effusion

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2012
Repeated thoracentesis may cause pleural inflammation and induce local release of proinfammatory cytokine as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) which may subsequently enhance the release of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and lead to fibrin ...

Dual Suturing Technique Without Tying for Closure of the Bronchial Stump in Robotic Surgery. [PDF]

Thorac Cancer
Dual barbed sutures secured with ligation clips provide a reliable, ligation‐free technique for bronchial stump closure in robot‐assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS), as preliminary results confirmed secure closure and no bronchopleural fistula in all evaluated cases.

A study of efficacy and safety of tranexamic acid versus iodopovidone in pleurodesis via pigtail catheter in management of recurrent pleural effusion

The Egyptian Journal of Bronchology, 2020
Background Researches to detect the ideal agent for pleurodesis are still continuous; iodopovidone is one of the best agents for pleurodesis that are commonly used.

Role of chest ultrasound in detecting successful pleurodesis

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2017
Background: Thoracic ultrasonography easily detects the sign of ‘pleural sliding’, due to the movement of the visceral pleura on the parietal pleura. This sign is absent when pleurodesis is successful.

Early Pleurodesis for Postoperative Air Leak with Autologous Blood and 50% Glucose Solution

Journal of Chest Surgery, 2023
Background: Postoperative air leaks after pulmonary resection prolong the duration of chest drainage and the length of hospital stay. One of the many treatment options is bedside pleurodesis using various agents. This study evaluated the feasibility of
