Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Treatment of patients who have pneumothorax is increasingly being undertaken with a small-diameter dart catheter. Although the catheter usually is effective, complications can arise with its use. We describe a patient in whom empyema developed during treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax with the use of such a catheter. Limitations and guidelines for its use are discussed. |
