  • Title: Cystic fibrosis and the thoracic surgeon.
    Author: Rolla M, D'Andrilli A, Rendina EA, Diso D, Venuta F.
    Journal: Eur J Cardiothorac Surg; 2011 May; 39(5):716-25. PubMed ID: 20822917.
    Abstract:
    Indications for thoracic surgery in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) are principally represented by pleural diseases including pneumothorax, pleural effusion, and empyema and by parenchymal lung diseases including bronchiectasis, hemoptysis, and pulmonary abscess. Moreover, lung transplantation has proved a viable therapeutic option for progressive respiratory failure due to end-stage CF. Main surgical experiences in this setting are reviewed and discussed.
