Transcatheter instillation of urokinase into loculated pleural effusion: analysis of treatment effect.
Our objective was to evaluate the usefulness of intracavitary instillation of urokinase in the treatment of loculated pleural effusion. ⋯ Urokinase instillation through a percutaneous catheter was effective in the treatment of loculated pleural effusion in most patients but was not effective in patients whose pleural fluid had a honeycomb appearance on sonography or whose parietal pleura had a thickness of more than 5 mm on CT scans.
