AIM: The aim of the current study was to analyse the results of video assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) talc pleurodesis for malignant pleural effusion.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: From January 2002 to December 2004, 50 VATS procedures were performed under general anaesthesia on 48 patients for malignant pleural effusion. There were 45 women and 3 men with a median age of 57 years. The most common primary neoplasms were breast cancer (68%), ovarian cancer (6%), colon cancer (4%) and lung cancer (4%). Five patients had other types of tumour, including malignant lymphoma, fibrosarcoma, renal cell carcinoma, malignant pleural mesothelioma, acute myeloblastic leukaemia.
RESULTS: The average duration of the operation was 46 min (range 20-120). Median duration of postoperative drainage was 5 days (range 2-13) and postoperative hospitalisation was 8 days (range 2-13). Four patients had postoperative complications. Thirty-day mortality was 1/48. One patient died from myocardial infarction. Three postoperative complications were noted (one non-septic febrile episode, one bilateral pneumopathy and one transitory hypoxaemia, treated by non invasive ventilation). Patients were relieved from dyspnoea in 34/48 of the cases (71%). Median survival was 6 months (ranging from 14 days to 2 years).
CONCLUSIONS: Early talc pleurodesis via VATS is a safe technique for successfully treating pleural effusion and preventing recurrence in palliative patients with a symptomatic malignant pleural effusion.
