We reported a successful pleuro-venous shunt operation (Pl-V shunt) for a patient of liver cirrhosis with secondary hydrothorax. A 78-year-old female was admitted to our hospital because of severe dyspnea and palpitation. Chest x-ray film revealed right sided massive pleural effusion. Over several weeks the chest tube drainaged about 1,500 ml of transudative fluid per day. We performed Pl-V shunting and pleural effusion subsequently decreased in amount and dyspnea disappeared. This Pl-V shunting is thought to be useful for such a patient with massive pleural effusion which failed to respond to medical therapy.
我们报道了一例成功的胸膜静脉分流术（Pl-V分流术）用于治疗一名患有继发性胸腔积液的肝硬化患者。一名78岁女性因严重呼吸困难和心悸入住我院。胸部X光片显示右侧大量胸腔积液。在数周时间里，胸腔闭式引流每天引出约1500毫升漏出液。我们实施了Pl-V分流术，随后胸腔积液量减少，呼吸困难消失。这种Pl-V分流术被认为对这类胸腔积液量大且药物治疗无效的患者有用。
