We present three cases of successful chemical pleurodesis with a liquid solution of mistletoe extract using a spray catheter during medical thoracoscopy. The medical thoracoscopy was performed in all presented cases to remove pleural effusion and conduct chemical pleurodesis to manage symptomatic malignant pleural effusion. A spray catheter was used to instil the mistletoe extract evenly into the pleural cavity, and there were no pleurodesis-related complications. Respiratory symptoms caused by pleural effusion improved after pleurodesis, and successful pleurodesis was maintained for more than 3 months after medical thoracoscopy in all three patients.
我们报告了3例在医学胸腔镜检查期间使用喷雾导管将槲寄生提取物的液体溶液成功进行化学性胸膜固定术的病例。所有病例均进行了医学胸腔镜检查以清除胸腔积液并进行化学性胸膜固定术以治疗有症状的恶性胸腔积液。使用喷雾导管将槲寄生提取物均匀地注入胸腔，未出现与胸膜固定术相关的并发症。胸膜固定术后，胸腔积液引起的呼吸道症状得到改善，所有3例患者在医学胸腔镜检查后成功的胸膜固定术维持了3个月以上。
