title: [Pleurodesis using an acrylate glue in the treatment of therapy-resistant symptomatic pneumothorax].
abstract: In 7 patients with therapy-resistant pneumothorax and a contraindication of surgery in obstructive large-bullae pulmonary emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis in the terminal stage (in one case bilateral), extensive pulmonary cysts, cystic pulmonary fibrosis, and large-cavernous pulmonary tuberculosis, an acrylate tissue adhesive was applied on 8 occasions through a pleural catheter. Following the rapid withdrawal of the catheter, the lungs remained fully expanded in five cases. In two cases, the tissue adhesive had to be applied interpleurally a second time, and in one case on three occasions at one-day intervals. In none of these cases did any major complications occur.
