From the 2. Medizinische Klinik, Wilhelm-Epstein-Str. 2,6000 Frankfurt.
A 46-year-old woman undergoing CAPD developed a recurring right sided
hydrothorax. Instillation of tetracycline HCI and triamcinolone acetonide did
not correct the condition. However application of a fibrin adhesive (Tissucol)
made it possible to achieve permanent adhesion of the pleural layers. This
paper descrubes the method in detail.
KEY WORDS: CAPD; hydrothorax; fibrin adhesion technique.
