A local anaesthetic video-assisted thoracoscopy service: Prospective performance analysis in a UK tertiary respiratory centre
Lung Cancer, 05/18/09
Medford ARL et al. - The LAVAT service meets surgical VATS standards for diagnosis and safety with a good pleurodesis efficacy rate. It complements the surgical VATS service, offering a pleural diagnostic service for patients with non-complex pleural exudates or too frail for VATS. The data demonstrate there is a demand and potential for respiratory physicians dealing with pleural malignancy to develop LAVAT and enhance their local lung cancer and pleural diagnostic pathway.
