RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Some centers utilize ventriculopleural shunt (VPLS) for treating hydrocephalus when conventional approaches are not feasible. Nonetheless, the literature regarding this approach is scarce. PURPOSE: Evaluate the outcomes of VPLS through a single-arm meta-analysis. METHODS: Following PRISMA guidelines, the authors systematically searched for articles utilizing the VPLS in a cohort with more than four patients. Outcomes included: mortality, pleural effusion, number of patients who underwent revisions, obstructions, shunt migration, emphysema, and subdural hematoma. RESULTS: A total of 404 articles were reviewed, resulting in the inclusion of 13 retrospective studies encompassing 543 patients, with the majority being children (62.6â¯%). The median average follow-up period was 35.4 months (10-64.1). After analysis, results yielded a revision rate of 54â¯% (95â¯% CI: 44â¯%-64â¯%; I2=73â¯%). The most common complication observed was pleural effusion, with a post-analysis incidence of 16â¯% (95â¯% CI: 11â¯%-21â¯%; I2=63â¯%), followed by infections at 7â¯% (95â¯% CI: 4â¯%-10â¯%; I2=33â¯%). Shunt obstruction occurred in 13â¯% (95â¯% CI: 4â¯%-21â¯%; I2=84â¯%) of cases after analysis, while migrations, overdrainage, subdural hematoma, and cutaneous emphysema had minimal occurrence rates (0â¯%, 95â¯% CI: 0â¯%-1â¯%; I2=0â¯%). Notably, there were no reported cases of shunt-related mortality. CONCLUSION: VPLS can be considered when there are no other suitable options for placing the distal catheter. However, the notable rates of shunt revisions, pleural effusion, infections, and the inherent heterogeneity of outcomes currently limit the widespread adoption of VPLS. In this scenario, other alternatives should be given priority.

Mechanical ventilation contributes to the morbidity and mortality of patients in intensive care, likely through the exacerbation and dissemination of inflammation. Despite the proximity of the pleural cavity to the lungs and exposure to physical forces, little attention has been paid to its potential as an inflammatory source during ventilation. Here, we investigate the pleural cavity as a novel site of inflammation during ventilator-induced lung injury. Mice were subjected to low or high tidal volume ventilation strategies for up to 3 hours. Ventilation with a high tidal volume significantly increased cytokine and total protein levels in BAL and pleural lavage fluid. In contrast, acid aspiration, explored as an alternative model of injury, only promoted intraalveolar inflammation, with no effect on the pleural space. Resident pleural macrophages demonstrated enhanced activation after injurious ventilation, including upregulated ICAM-1 and IL-1ß expression, and the release of extracellular vesicles. In vivo ventilation and in vitro stretch of pleural mesothelial cells promoted ATP secretion, whereas purinergic receptor inhibition substantially attenuated extracellular vesicles and cytokine levels in the pleural space. Finally, labeled protein rapidly translocated from the pleural cavity into the circulation during high tidal volume ventilation, to a significantly greater extent than that of protein translocation from the alveolar space. Overall, we conclude that injurious ventilation induces pleural cavity inflammation mediated through purinergic pathway signaling and likely enhances the dissemination of mediators into the vasculature. This previously unidentified consequence of mechanical ventilation potentially implicates the pleural space as a focus of research and novel avenue for intervention in critical care.

BACKGROUND: To date, several chest drainage systems are available, such as digital drainage systems (DDS) and traditional systems with continuous suction or water seal. However, none of these systems were yet shown to be favorable in the treatment of complex situations such as persistent air leaks or residual spaces. We present in-vitro as well as clinical data of a novel hybrid drainage system consisting of an optimized digital drainage system (ODDS) and an underwater seal drainage system (UWSD). METHODS: For in-vitro analysis, a DDS and an ODDS were connected to a pleural cavity simulator. Different air leaks were produced and data on intrapleural pressure and air flow were analyzed. Furthermore, we tested the hybrid drainage system in 10 patients with potential air leaks after pulmonary surgery. RESULTS: In in-vitro analysis, we could show, that with advanced pump technology, pressure fluctuations caused by the drainage system when trying to maintain a set pressure level in patients with airleaks were much smaller when using an ODDS and could even be eliminated when using a fluid collection canister with sufficient buffer capacity. This minimized air leak boosts caused by the drainage system. Optimizing the auto-pressure regulation algorithms also led to a reduced airflow through the fistula and promoted rest. Switching to a passive UWSD also reduced the amount of airflow. Clinical application of the hybrid drainage system yielded promising results. CONCLUSION: The novel hybrid drainage system shows promising results in the treatment of patients with complex clinical situations such as persistent air leaks.

OBJECTIVE: The primary aim was to investigate emerging 3D printing and optical acquisition technologies to refine and enhance photodynamic therapy (PDT) dosimetry in the management of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A rigorous digital reconstruction of the pleural lung cavity was conducted utilizing 3D printing and optical scanning methodologies. These reconstructions were systematically assessed against CT-derived data to ascertain their accuracy in representing critical anatomic features and post-resection topographical variations. RESULTS: The resulting reconstructions excelled in their anatomical precision, proving instrumental translation for precise dosimetry calculations for PDT. Validation against CT data confirmed the utility of these models not only for enhancing therapeutic planning but also as critical tools for educational and calibration purposes. CONCLUSION: The research outlined a successful protocol for the precise calculation of light distribution within the complex environment of the pleural cavity, marking a substantive advance in the application of PDT for MPM. This work holds significant promise for individualizing patient care, minimizing collateral radiation exposure, and improving the overall efficiency of MPM treatments.

A 19-year-old patient after previous wedge resection of the right upper pulmonary lobe a year ago urgently admitted with recurrent right-sided spontaneous pneumothorax. According to standard management of spontaneous pneumothorax, we performed diagnostic thoracoscopy and drainage of the right pleural cavity with regular X-ray examinations. However, these measures were ineffective. The patient was scheduled for surgery, and we intraoperatively observed an unusual cause of pneumothorax. Thus, we present spontaneous pneumothorax following right upper lobe pulmonary sequestration. The uniqueness of this case is associated with unusual manifestation and non-standard localization of rare lesion. A few cases of pneumothorax in similar patients are described in the world literature. The key limiting factor in diagnosis of such defects (identification of aberrant vessel supplying abnormal lung parenchyma) is the lack of routine CT angiography in patients diagnosed with pneumothorax. That is why CT changes were interpreted as postoperative ones, and the true cause was established only during redo surgery. A thorough inspection of the pleural cavity and alertness regarding unusual appearance of the right upper pulmonary lobe made it possible to suggest a non-standard diagnosis, avoid complications (bleeding from afferent vessel) and perform adequate lung resection.

Introducción: El biliotórax es una condición infrecuente definida por la presencia de bilis en el espacio pleural. Actualmente, hay alrededor de 70 casos descritos en la litera-tura. Sigue siendo relativamente desconocido, por lo tanto, poco sospechado. Esta entidad suele ser el resultado de una lesión iatrogénica, a menudo secundaria a cirugías o traumatismos del tracto biliar, que conduce a la formación de una fístula pleurobiliar.

Introducción: Cerca del 50 % de los derrames pleurales (DP) es neoplásico. El comportamiento clínico del DP neoplásico es altamente sintomático por el gran volumen y su recidiva temprana. Propósito de la revisión: El objetivo de la revisión es delinear el papel de los diferentes métodos diagnósticos y terapéuticos de DP maligno. Buscamos reportes actualizados en donde se incluye los resultados de mejor supervivencia para los distintos tratamientos actuales. Recientes hallazgos: Los criterios de Light es el método estándar para diferenciar un exudado maligno. La toracocentesis guiada por ultrasonido debe ser usada como método diagnóstico/terapéutico. En pacientes con DP maligno se recomienda el drenaje permanente con el posicionamiento de un tubo de tórax y un sello hidráulico con drenaje cerrado. La pleurodesia con instilación de talco está recomendada en pacientes con DP maligno en busca de disminuir el volumen, las recidivas del DP y el tiempo de hospitalización. Conclusiones: Para el correcto manejo del DP maligno, hay que tomar en cuenta varios aspectos, como identificar la presencia de células malignas mediante estudio citológico y descartar una infección. La ecografía pleural permite definir el volumen del DP y permite decidir drenaje en ese momento, con la posibilidad de inserción de catéter intrapleural, con el objetivo de evaluar la posibilidad de esclerosar las pleuras a través de pleurodesia. Sin embargo, para llegar a esta decisión hay que analizar cada uno de los detalles que podrían tener un papel de importancia para el buen manejo y resolución definitiva o por el contrario decidir el manejo a título paliativo, siempre analizando cada caso con el objetivo de proveer de mejoría de síntomas y mejorar la calidad de vida del paciente.
Introduction: Approximately 50% of pleural effusions (PE) are neoplastic. The clinical behavior of neoplastic PE is highly symptomatic due to its large volume and early recurrence. Purpose of review: This review aims to outline the role of the different diagnostic and therapeutic methods of malignant PE. We look for updated reports that include the best survival results for the other current treatments. Recent findings: Light's criteria are the standard to differentiate a malignant exudate. Ultrasound-guided thoracentesis should be used as a diagnostic/therapeutic method. In patients with malignant PE, permanent drainage is recommended with the placement of a chest tube and a hydraulic seal with closed drainage. Pleurodesis with the installation of talc is recommended in patients with malignant PE to reduce volume, PE recurrences, and hospitalization time. Conclusions: For the correct management of malignant PE, several aspects must be considered, such as identifying the presence of malignant cells by cytological study and ruling out infection. Pleural ultrasound allows for defining the volume of the PE. It will enable deciding on drainage at that time, with the possibility of inserting an intrapleural catheter, to evaluate the likelihood of sclerosing the pleurae through pleurodesis. However, to reach this decision, it is necessary to analyze each of the details that could play an essential role in good management and definitive resolution or, on the contrary, decide on palliative management, constantly investigating each case to provide symptom improvement. In addition, improving the patient's quality of life.

ABSTRACT Objective To describe the minimally invasive technique for the lateral retropleural approach to the thoracolumbar spine and its viability in several affections of the region, demonstrating its indications, potential advantages, and necessary precautions, with an emphasis on the local anatomy, especially the diaphragm. Methods After a review of the literature, the initial experience of the Service is reported, comparing it to the published results. The surgical technique used is described with emphasis on the surgical anatomy of the diaphragm. Results The minimally invasive lateral retropleural approach to the thoracolumbar junction with the application of an expandable tubular retractor was described step-by-step in this study, with emphasis on the crucial points of technical execution, such as preoperative planning, access to the retropleural plane, and an orthogonal approach for adequate discectomy and/or corpectomy and subsequent implant placement. It can be used in the treatment of deformities, degenerative diseases, trauma, tumors, and infections and it allows for adequate interbody arthrodesis fusion rates associated with a smaller skin incision and less soft tissue damage, blood loss, and postoperative pain. Thus, it results in better postoperative mobility and a shorter hospital stay, which can also be observed in the data from initial experience of this Service. Conclusions The minimally invasive technique for the lateral retropleural approach to the thoracolumbar spine with the application of an expandable tubular retractor was shown to be promising and safe for the treatment of several spinal diseases despite the complex and challenging local anatomy and it presents advantages over the morbidity rates observed in the traditional approach. Level of evidence IV; Case series.

RESUMEN La disección de la arteria torácica interna es uno de los procedimientos más definitorios de la cirugía de revascularización miocárdica, pues se ha demostrado que la calidad de vida y la evolución a corto y largo plazo de los pacientes dependerán de las características morfológicas del injerto. Hace más de 25 años se propuso la utilización de un separador pulmonar maleable para facilitar la disección de la arteria torácica interna, especialmente su segmento proximal, pero nunca se ha fabricado ese dispositivo. Se presenta un separador pulmonar manufacturado a partir de dispositivos en desuso, empleados en cirugía coronaria. Se comentan y discuten las principales ventajas demostradas durante más de tres años en cerca de un centenar de pacientes.
ABSTRACT Internal thoracic artery dissection is one of the most defining procedures of coronary artery bypass grafting, as it has been demonstrated that the quality of life and short-long term outcome of patients will depend on the morphological characteristics of the graft. More than 25 years ago, the use of a malleable lung spreader was proposed to facilitate the internal thoracic artery dissection especially its proximal segment, but that device has never been manufactured. A lung spreader, assembled from disused devices, used in coronary artery revascularization is presented. The main advantages confirmed over more than three years in nearly a hundred patients are discussed and commented upon.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The pleural drain insertion site after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery may alter lung function, especially respiratory muscle strength. The main objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness and safety of use of the left lateral intercostal region versus the subxiphoid position for pleural drainage during elective CABG surgery using extracorporeal circulation (ECC). DESIGN AND SETTING: Randomized trial conducted in a tertiary-level hospital in Porto Alegre, Brazil. METHODS: 48 patients were assigned to group 1 (pleural drain in the left lateral intercostal region) or group 2 (pleural drain in the subxiphoid position). Respiratory muscle strength was measured in terms of maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximal expiratory pressure (MEP), in cmH2O, by means of manovacuometry preoperatively, 24 and 72 hours after drain removal and before discharge from hospital. Painand dyspnea scales, presence of infections, pleural effusion and atelectasis, duration of drain use, drainage volumes and surgical reinterventions were also evaluated. RESULTS: After adjustments, there were no significant differences between the groups at the end of the study (before discharge), in predicted percentages either for MIP (delta group 1: -17.21% versus delta group 2: -22.26%; P = 0.09) or for MEP (delta group 1: -9.38% versus delta group 2: -13.13%; P = 0.17). Therewere no differences between the groups in relation to other outcomes. CONCLUSION: There was no difference in maximal respiratory pressures in relation to the pleural drain insertion site among patients who underwent CABG surgery using ECC. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ReBEc V1111.1159.4447.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the role of intrapleural positioning of a pleural catheter in early lung expansion and pleurodesis success in patients with recurrent malignant pleural effusion (RMPE). Methods: This was a retrospective study nested into a larger prospective cohort study including patients with RMPE recruited from a tertiary university teaching hospital between June of 2009 and September of 2014. The patients underwent pleural catheter insertion followed by bedside pleurodesis. Chest CT scans were performed twice: immediately before pleurodesis (iCT) and 30 days after pleurodesis (CT30). Catheter positioning was categorized based on iCT scans as posterolateral, anterior, fissural, and subpulmonary. We used the pleural volume on iCT scans to estimate early lung expansion and the difference between the pleural volumes on CT30 and iCT scans to evaluate radiological success of pleurodesis. Clinical pleurodesis success was defined as no need for any other pleural procedure. Results: Of the 131 eligible patients from the original study, 85 were included in this nested study (64 women; mean age: 60.74 years). Catheter tip positioning was subpulmonary in 35 patients (41%), anterior in 23 (27%), posterolateral in 17 (20%), and fissural in 10 (12%). No significant differences were found among the groups regarding early lung expansion (median residual pleural cavity = 377 mL; interquartile range: 171-722 mL; p = 0.645), radiological success of pleurodesis (median volume = 33 mL; interquartile range: −225 to 257 mL; p = 0.923), and clinical success of pleurodesis (85.8%; p = 0.676). Conclusions: Our results suggest that the position of the tip of the pleural catheter influences neither early lung expansion nor bedside pleurodesis success in patients with RMPE.
RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar o papel do posicionamento intrapleural do cateter pleural na expansão pulmonar precoce e no sucesso da pleurodese em pacientes com derrame pleural maligno recorrente (DPMR). Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo retrospectivo aninhado em um estudo prospectivo de coorte maior com pacientes com DPMR recrutados em um hospital-escola universitário terciário entre junho de 2009 e setembro de 2014. Os pacientes foram submetidos a inserção de cateter pleural e, em seguida, pleurodese à beira do leito. A TC de tórax foi realizada duas vezes: imediatamente antes da pleurodese (TCi) e 30 dias após a pleurodese (TC30). Com base na TCi, a posição do cateter foi classificada em posterolateral, anterior, fissural e subpulmonar. Usamos o volume pleural na TCi para estimar a expansão pulmonar precoce e a diferença entre os volumes pleurais na TC30 e na TCi a fim de avaliar o sucesso radiológico da pleurodese. Considerou-se que a pleurodese teve êxito clínico quando não foi necessário realizar nenhum outro procedimento pleural. Resultados: Dos 131 pacientes elegíveis do estudo original, 85 foram incluídos neste estudo aninhado (64 mulheres; média de idade: 60,74 anos). A posição da ponta do cateter foi subpulmonar em 35 pacientes (41%), anterior em 23 (27%), posterolateral em 17 (20%) e fissural em 10 (12%). Não houve diferenças significativas entre os grupos quanto à expansão pulmonar precoce (mediana da cavidade pleural residual = 377 ml; intervalo interquartil: 171-722 ml; p = 0,645), sucesso radiológico da pleurodese (mediana do volume = 33 ml; intervalo interquartil: −225 a 257 ml; p = 0,923) e sucesso clínico da pleurodese (85,8%; p = 0,676). Conclusões: Nossos resultados sugerem que a posição da ponta do cateter pleural não influencia nem a expansão pulmonar precoce nem o sucesso da pleurodese à beira do leito em pacientes com DPMR.

Introducción: la colección purulenta en la cavidad pleural es causa de complicaciones, por procesos infecciosos pulmonares, y de alta mortalidad. Con frecuencia se trata de enfermos con deterioro del estado general, situación que se agrava en enfermos de edades geriátricas. Objetivo: mostrar la experiencia en el uso de la toracostomía con resección costal y anestesia local en el Hospital Universitario Manuel Fajardo para la atención de enfermos con empiema pleural. Métodos: se estudiaron 24 pacientes con empiema pleural atendidos desde enero de 1998 hasta octubre de 2015, con edad avanzada y estado físico precario en el Hospital Universitario Manuel Fajardo a los que se les realizó una ventana pleurocutánea con anestesia local. Resultados: La edad promedio fue de edad 72 años; 75 por ciento presentó enfermedades asociadas. La relación hombre/mujer fue de 3 a 1. La causa más frecuente fue el derrame paraneumónico infestado, 100 por ciento tuvo antecedentes de pleurostomía. Hubo cultivo negativo en 20,8 por ciento pacientes. Los gérmenes más frecuentes fueron el estreptococo, estafilococo y gérmenes gramnegativos. Las costillas resecadas fueron los arcos costales anteriores sexto y séptimo y el tiempo promedio de cierre de las ventanas fue de 8 meses, sin mortalidad quirúrgica. Conclusión: la ventana torácica pleurocutánea es un procedimiento quirúrgico de baja mortalidad, ideal para solucionar una cavidad pleural tabicada con gran utilidad en enfermos de edades geriátricas y con estado físico precario, por la factibilidad de realizarla con anestesia local(AU)
Introduction: pleural cavity purulent collection causes high mortality and complications in lung infections processes. It often comes to patients with deterioration of general condition, a situation muchworsened in patients of geriatric age. Objective: to show the experience in using costal thoracostomy and local anesthesia in care for elderly patients with pleural empyema and poor physical condition. Methods: study carried out in 24 patients with pleural empyema, advanced age and poor physical condition cared for from January 1998 to October 2015 at Comandante Manuel Fajardo University Hospital and who also underwent pleurocutaneous window with local anesthesia. Results: average age was 72 years. The male/female ratio was 3 to 1. 75 percent of the patients presented associated diseases. The most frequent cause was infested parapneumonic effusion. There was pleurostomy history in 100 percent of the cases, negative culture in 20.8 percent, while the most common germs were streptococcus, staphylococcus and gram-negative bacteria. The resected ribs were the sixth and seventh previous costal arches. El average windows closing time was 8 months. There was no surgical mortality. Conclusion: pleurocutaneous thoracic window is a surgical procedure with low mortality, ideal to settle a pleural cavity tabicada with great utility in patients at geriatric age and in precarious physical condition, from the feasibility of being performing under local anesthesia(AU)

Material y Método: En el periodo comprendido entre Marzo 2012 a Marzo 2015, se evaluaron 23 pacientes que se les realizo Videotoracoscopia por derrame neoplásico, de las cuales 8 fueron con anestesia local. Resultados: Se analizaron en el Sector de Cirugía Tórax del Hospital Aeronáutico Central 23 videotoracoscopía, desde Marzo 2012 a Marzo 2015 de las cuales 8 (34.78%) fueron realizadas con anestesia loco regional. La edad promedio de los pacientes fue de 81,5 años. Además del antecedente neoplásico, todos fueron evaluados por anestesia como ASA IV. Todos presentaban derrame pleural que afectaba por lo menos 2/3 del hemitórax, favoreciendo así el colapso pasivo pulmonar. La evolución posoperatoria fue satisfactoria, sin morbimortalidad. El promedio de tiempo de drenaje pleural fue de 6 días. Conclusiones: La videotoracoscopia bajo anestesia local es una variante que debería tenerse en cuenta para pacientes complejos con elevada morbimortalidad.
Introduction: VATS under local anesthesia is a minimally invasive method that allows direct visualization of the pleural cavity and biopsy sampling and production of therapeutic interventions in pleura.1,2,3 Objective: To demonstrate the usefulness of performing VATS under local anesthesia in patients with neoplastic pleural effusion presented high surgical mortality and morbidity. Material and Methods: In the period from March 2012 to March 2015, 23 patients who underwent Videothoracoscopy by malignant effusion, of which 8 were evaluated under local anesthesia. Results: We analyzed in Sector Thoracic Surgery Central Hospital Aeronautic videothoracoscopy 23, from March 2012 to March 2015 of which 8 (34.78%) were performed with locoregional anesthesia. The average age of patients was 81.5 years. In addition to neoplastic history, all were evaluated by ASA IV anesthesia. All had pleural effusion affecting at least 2/3 of the hemithorax, favoring passive lung collapse. The postoperative course was satisfactory without morbidity and mortality. The average time of pleural drainage was 6 days. Conclusions: VATS under local anesthesia is a variant that should be considered for patients with high morbidity and mortality complex.

El objetivo de los sistemas de drenaje pleural es la evacuación del contenido patógeno del espacio pleural. Hasta hace poco, solo se conocían y utilizaban los frascos de vidrio; sin embargo, los sistemas comerciales actuales han 'inundado' la práctica quirúrgica por lo que son frecuentes los errores en el manejo de estos sistemas, en su mayoría por desconocimiento no solo de la fisiología del espacio pleural sino también del funcionamiento de dichos sistemas. El objetivo de esta revisión es demostrar de una forma didáctica y práctica el funcionamiento de los sistemas de drenaje pleural y contribuir en mejorar la seguridad de la práctica de la cirugía.
The main purpose of the thoracic drainage systems is the evacuation of pathological content in the pleural space. Until recently only the glass bottles was the single system in use; however commercial systems have flooded the surgical practice, leading to frequent errors in the management of such systems, mostly due to a lack of knowledge on both the physiology of the pleural space and the operation of this system. The aim of this review is to show the operation of the thoracic drainage systems in a didactic and practical way and to contribute to the the safety of their use in the surgical practice.
