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

Australasian Malignant PLeural Effusion (AMPLE)-3 trial: study protocol for a multi-centre randomised study comparing indwelling pleural catheter (±talc pleurodesis) versus video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for management of malignant pleural effusion

Trials, 2022
Introduction Malignant pleural effusions (MPEs) are common. MPE causes significant breathlessness and impairs quality of life. Indwelling pleural catheters (IPC) allow ambulatory drainage and reduce hospital days and re-intervention rates when compared ...

Clinical outcomes of chemical pleurodesis using a minocycline

Therapeutic Advances in Respiratory Disease, 2019
Background: Pleurodesis is often used to prevent the re-accumulation of a malignant pleural effusion (MPE). Intrapleural urokinase (IPUK) therapy facilitates lung re-expansion for patients with loculated MPE or a trapped lung that allows subsequent ...

Outcome of ultrasound-guided, single session pleurodesis in malignant pleural effusion

The Egyptian Journal of Bronchology, 2020
Background Chemical pleurodesis is frequently indicated to relieve symptoms imposed by large/recurrent malignant pleural effusion (MPE). Traditionally, a drain is left in the pleural space till the cessation of fluid accumulation before pleurodesis ...

Congenital Chylothorax and Congenital Pulmonary Airway Malformation: Case Report and Literature Review. [PDF]

Respirol Case Rep
The association of two rare but important congenital conditions—congenital chylothorax (CCT) and congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM)—can be challenging to manage, especially in the absence of well‐established protocols. We report our experience and management of an association between CPAM and CCT in a newborn.

Evaluation of a Digital Health Model of Care for the Management of Adults With Symptomatic Malignant Pleural Effusion. [PDF]

Respirol Case Rep
Digital health may improve access to MPE treatments by reducing barriers to specialist care and facilitating training and support for community staff. This trial assesses the SAPS model of care, providing data on barriers and facilitators to its implementation, its efficacy, costs and qualitative outcomes.

Autologous Blood Pleurodesis Through an Indwelling Pleural Catheter for the Management of Prolonged Air Leak in a Malignant Hydropneumothorax. [PDF]

Respirol Case Rep
Here we describe a novel management approach for persistent air‐leak in the setting of a malignant hydropneumothorax. Autologous blood pleurodesis via an indwelling pleuralcatheter appears to be a safe and effective treatment option for non‐surgical candidates and allows ongoing long‐term drainage of a malignant effusion and air leak.

Autologous blood patch pleurodesis for prolonged postoperative air leaks

Journal of Thoracic Disease, 2021
Background A prolonged air leak (PAL) is the most frequent complication after pulmonary resection. This study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of autologous blood patch pleurodesis (ABPP) to treat PAL.

Ambulatory Thoracoscopic Pleurodesis Combined With Indwelling Pleural Catheter in Malignant Pleural Effusion

Frontiers in Surgery, 2021
Background and Objective: Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) often results in debilitating symptoms. Relief of dyspnoea and improvement in quality of life can be achieved with either talc pleurodesis or insertion of an indwelling tunneled pleural catheter (
