Bilateral Pleural Effusion in Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis Managed by Vats Pleurodesis.

Abstract

Recurrent dyspnoea in a chronic peritoneal dialysis patient should raise the diagnosis of a possible pleuroperitoneal leak, even if no apparent loss of ultrafiltration was observed.Minimally invasive surgical pleurodesis using surgical adhesive can be considered in cases of refractory pleuroperitoneal leak.
