Efficacy of hyperthermia pleurodesis: A comparative experimental study on serous membrane of abdominopelvic and thoracic cavities of rats
2022, Cirugia EspanolaCitation Excerpt :There are different pleurodesis procedures: chemical pleurodesis, mechanical pleurodesis or a combination of both. There are different chemical agents such as talc, polidocanol, tetracyclines, autologous blood, iodopovidone or hyperthermic saline solution with a greater or lesser effectiveness.1–7 Few studies have shown the efficacy of hyperthermia without chemotherapy as a sclerosing agent to treat malignant pleural effusion.7–9
Is pleurodesis for the treatment of primary spontaneous pneumothorax a misnomer-and if it works, does it matter?
2015, Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular SurgeryOutcomes of patients with gynecologic malignancies undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and pleurodesis for malignant pleural effusion
2012, Gynecologic OncologyCitation Excerpt :When pleural fluid reaccumulates despite repeated drainage or concurrent treatment of the underlying cause, obliteration of the pleural space may be indicated to improve pulmonary function and symptoms. While a variety of agents are available, several studies have demonstrated that talc pleurodesis is the treatment of choice for recurrent malignant pleural effusions [2–6]. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) with associated pleurodesis has been utilized in a variety of clinical scenarios to ameliorate symptoms associated with pleural effusions.
Patterns, Effects, and Thoracic Volume Changes of Thoracoscopic Pleurodesis in Rabbits
2008, Journal of Surgical ResearchCitation Excerpt :In this study, rabbits were used for both chemical and mechanical thoracoscopic pleurodesis. Our experience shows that, with ventilator support and meticulous monitoring, thoracoscopic pleural abrasion and minocycline instillation can be safely performed in rabbits, with the results comparable to those achieved using large animals [28]. In addition to the pleurodesis parameters, our study also investigated the area of greatest adhesion after pleurodesis, with the location differing for the chemical and mechanical variants of the procedure.
Who Gains Most? A 10-Year Experience With 611 Thoracoscopic Talc Pleurodeses
2007, Annals of Thoracic SurgerySafety of pleurodesis with talc poudrage in malignant pleural effusion: a prospective cohort study
2007, LancetCitation Excerpt :Compared with other agents for chemical pleurodesis, talc seemed to give the best results in terms of effectiveness, with least recurrence of effusion, after both talc poudrage, and instillation of talc slurry through a chest tube.7 The effectiveness of talc pleurodesis compared with other forms of pleurodesis has also been supported by animal studies.8 Additionally, talc is inexpensive and widely available.
