Abstract: Background: Indwelling pleural catheters (IPC) are increasingly used for management of recurrent (especially malignant) effusions. Pleural infection associated with IPC use remains a concern. Intrapleural therapy with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and deoxyribonuclease (DNase) significantly… read more here.

Abstract: Malignant pleural effusions (MPE) are common and associated with disabling symptoms, and large hospitalisation costs [1]. Current management of recurrent MPE is symptomatic, with chest drain and talc pleurodesis, or indwelling pleural catheter (IPC) insertion.… read more here.
