Semirigid thoracoscopy: an effective method for diagnosing pleural malignancies
BACKGROUND Thoracoscopy with a semirigid instrument is a recent technique for diagnosing pleural diseases. The purpose of this study was to report diagnostic yield and complications of the method. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with pleural effusion of unknown origin and/or pleural irregularities suspicious for pleural malignancy were included after less invasive means of diagnosis had failed....

METHODS This was a retrospective comparative study involving patients with parapneumonic pleural effusion presenting with septations or locu...
متن کاملPropionibacterium acnes pleural empyema following medical thoracoscopy
Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) is a Gram-positive anaerobic rod and a common skin commensal that colonizes sebaceous glands. It has infrequently been associated with invasive opportunistic infections and can cause implant-associated infections through a biofilm mode of growth. Medical thoracoscopy is a common procedure for diagnosis and treatment of exudative pleural effusions; empyema is a...
متن کاملCombined ultrasound-guided cutting-needle biopsy and standard pleural biopsy for diagnosis of malignant pleural effusions
BACKGROUND The most efficient approach to diagnose malignant pleural effusions (MPEs) is still controversial and uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate the utility of a combined approach using ultrasound (US)-guided cutting-needle biopsy (CNB) and standard pleural biopsy (SPB) for diagnosing MPE. METHODS Pleural effusions were collected from 172 patients for biochemical and microbiological a...
متن کاملCT Scan-Guided Abrams' Needle Pleural Biopsy versus Ultrasound-Assisted Cutting Needle Pleural Biopsy for Diagnosis in Patients with Pleural Effusion: A Randomized, Controlled Trial.
BACKGROUND Image-guided pleural biopsies, both using ultrasound (US) or computed tomography (CT), are important in the diagnosis of pleural disease. However, no consensus exists regarding which biopsy needles are appropriate for specific procedures. OBJECTIVES In this randomized, prospective study, we aimed to compare CT scan-guided pleural biopsy using an Abrams' needle (CT-ANPB) with US-ass...
