Phase III Intergroup Study of Talc Poudrage vs Talc Slurry Sclerosis for Malignant Pleural Effusion [PDF]
Chest, 2005 To demonstrate the efficacy, safety, and appropriate mode of instillation of talc for sclerosis in treatment of malignant pleural effusions (MPEs).A prospective, randomized trial was designed to compare thoracoscopy with talc insufflation (TTI) to thoracostomy and talc slurry (TS) for patients with documented MPE.The primary end point was 30-day ...

Intrapleural Fibrinolytic Therapy Improves Results With Talc Slurry Pleurodesis
Cureus, 2020 Objective Talc slurry pleurodesis (TSP) can lead to permanent small loculations. Intrapleural tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) breaks down loculations, and therefore may improve results but may also inhibit pleurodesis. tPA was given with and after talc slurry to promote more uniform talc distribution and eliminate loculations.

ERJ Open Research, 2018 Talc pleurodesis is used to avoid recurrences in malignant pleural effusions or pneumothorax. The lack of lung sliding detected by chest ultrasonography (CUS) after talc application is indicative of the effectiveness of pleurodesis.

Influence of Particle Size on Extrapleural Talc Dissemination After Talc Slurry Pleurodesis
Chest, 2002 Cases of acute respiratory failure reported after talc pleurodesis have raised concerns about its safety. It has been speculated that this pulmonary inflammatory syndrome is secondary to the extrapleural dissemination of the talc particles.To test the hypothesis that particle size influences extrapleural talc deposition and pleural inflammation after ...
