  • Title: A review of management of pleuroperitoneal communication in five CAPD patients.
    Author: Simmons LE, Mir AR.
    Journal: Adv Perit Dial; 1989; 5():81-3. PubMed ID: 2577434.
    Abstract:
    Development of massive hydrothorax is well known in CAPD patients. Five CAPD patients at one center have developed some form of pleuroperitoneal communication as evidenced by pleural effusion. Temporary discontinuation of CAPD, tetracycline instillation, and surgical patch grafting of the diaphragm have been used as treatments for the communication.
