Ambulatory Iodopovidone Instillation Via Indwelling Pleural Catheters For Malignant Pleural Effusions
We report a cohort of 13 patients with symptomatic MPE managed with iodopovidone intrapleural instillation via an indwelling pleural catheter (IPC) in the ambulatory setting. Successful complete pleurodesis was achieved in 10 of 13 (76.9%) patients at a median time of 5 days with IPC removal at a median of 16 days. Two patient obtained partial pleurodesis with IPC removal, 1 required IPC reinsertion due to symptom recurrence. Complications were limited to intraprocedural pain in 4 patients (31%). Iodopovidone pleurodesis via IPC may represent a safe, feasible, and effective ambulatory-based option for pleural palliation in...

The Impact of an Interventional Pulmonary Program on Nontherapeutic Lung Resections
Background: Pulmonary resection can concurrently diagnose and treat known or suspected lung cancer, but is not without risk. Benign resection rates range widely (9% to 40%). We evaluated the impact of an Interventional Pulmonology (IP) program and dedicated Pulmonary Nodule Clinic on surgical benign resection rates at a single institution. Methods: An IP program was initiated in August 2010 that offered advanced diagnostic techniques and a dedicated Pulmonary Nodule Clinic was opened in August 2013. We retrospectively reviewed all patients who underwent resection for known or suspected lung cancer between 2005 and 201...

Predictors of Severe Bleeding During Endobronchial Biopsy: Experience of 537 Cases
Conclusion: Severe bleeding during EBB was associated with a decrease in the number of biopsies obtained and a lower diagnostic yield. A centrally located and vascular-appearing lesion on bronchoscopy predicted severe bleeding. (Source: Journal of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology)
