Pleurodesis: indications and radiologic appearance

Abstract

Pleurodesis is frequently performed to prevent recurrence of pneumothorax or recurrent pleural effusion in benign or malignant conditions. In essence, it involves producing an area of adhesion between the parietal and the visceral layers of the pleura. The approach to this procedure can be divided into chemical and mechanical methods. Chemical pleurodesis is performed by introducing various substances such as talc, bleomycin, povidone iodine or other chemicals into the pleural space typically using a pleural catheter. The instilled substances cause inflammation of the parietal and the visceral layers of the pleura and leads to adhesion of the pleural surfaces, preventing further fluid or air accumulation. Mechanical pleurodesis, which is performed with thoracotomy or thoracoscopy, involves mechanical irritation of the pleura or removal of parietal pleura. It is important for the radiologist to develop an understanding of the clinical indications for pleurodesis, methods for the procedure and post-procedure imaging appearance so the radiologist can provide a correct interpretation and avoid misdiagnosis of the radiologic appearance as chronic infection, tumor or other entities with a similar appearance. Thus, the aim of this article is to review the indications, techniques and post-procedural appearances of pleurodesis from an imaging perspective.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
