Platelet-Rich Plasma for Pleurodesis: An Experimental Study in Rabbits

Medicina, 2022
Background and Objectives: This study was designed to evaluate platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as a method of pleurodesis in a rabbit model. Pleurodesis with PRP was compared against the gold-standard use of talc.

Sonographic evaluation of different sclerosing agents in pleurodesis of malignant pleural effusion at Zagazig University Hospitals

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2018
Background Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) arises in advanced stages of malignancies and frequently carries a poor prognosis. The most common management of the patients with refractory MPE is pleurodesis.

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 ...

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.
