Pleural interventions. Indications, techniques, and clinical applications.
Pleural interventions represent one of the newest frontiers of interventional radiology. Many of the data are preliminary, but it is tempting to postulate that future side-by-side comparisons would prove these innovations superior to unguided techniques. Each procedure utilizes similar principles of pleural intervention yet emphasizes unique issues pertinent to the disease processes involved.
