متن کاملResection of pulmonary blebs and pleurodesis for spontaneous pneumothorax.
Over a 20-year period, 83 patients underwent operative pleurodesis with resection of pulmonary blebs for spontaneous pneumothorax. Follow-up for all patients was between 5 and 25 years, with a mean of 9.1 years. There were five early (5.6 percent) and three late recurrences (3.6 percent). There were no deaths or need for blood transfusion in our series. There was a low incidence of postoperativ...
متن کاملCold coagulation of blebs and bullae in the spontaneous pneumothorax: a new procedure alternative to endostapler resection.
Further improvements in the thoracoscopic treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax may reduce the already low invasiveness of the procedure. We have recently experimented with a new device for the coagulation of blebs as an alternative to endostapler resection. Patients with recurrent or persistent spontaneous pneumothorax underwent thoracoscopic treatment. Those with blebs or small bullae were tr...
متن کاملBullae-Forming Pulmonary Metastasis from Choriocarcinoma Presenting as Pneumothorax
Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) is a condition of uncertain etiology, choriocarcioma, or placental-site hydatidiform moles, invasive moles, choriocarcinoma, and placental-site trophoblastic tumors. It arises from the abnormal proliferation of trophoblastic tissue and spreads beyond the uterus hematogenously. The early diagnosis of GTD is important to ensure timely and successful managem...
متن کاملInfluence of scuba diving on asymptomatic isolated pulmonary bullae.
Pulmonary blebs and bullae are generally considered an absolute contra-indication for scuba diving, because of a high estimated risk of pulmonary overpressure syndrome due to air-trapping inside the bulla. This is primarily based on a number of retrospective studies and case reports; formal prospective evidence of a higher risk is lacking. We present three cases where a pulmonary bulla was radi...
