Indwelling Pleural Catheters in Hepatic Hydrothorax: A Single-Center Series of Outcomes and Complications [PDF]

, 2018
Background Treatment of hepatic hydrothorax (HH) generally involves sodium restriction, diuretics, and serial thoracentesis. In more advanced cases, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt and liver transplantation may be required.

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.

Early Contrast Enhancement: a novel Magnetic Resonance Imaging biomarker of pleural malignancy [PDF]

, 2018
Introduction: Pleural Malignancy (PM) is often occult on subjective radiological assessment. We sought to define a novel, semi-objective Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) biomarker of PM, targeted to increased tumour microvessel density (MVD) and ...

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

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 ...

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.

Pleurodesis: state of the art [PDF]

European Respiratory Journal, 1997
Pleurodesis aims to achieve a symphysis between parietal and visceral pleural surfaces, in order to prevent accumulation of fluid or air in the pleural space. Its major indications are malignant effusions and pneumothorax, and a re-expandable lung is essential for the success of the technique.

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.

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.
