High impact information on Thoracoscopes

  • The Olympus LTF semiflexible fiberoptic thoracoscope combines features of both instruments, having a solid body and a flexible terminal section [1].
  • CONCLUSION: The LTF thoracoscope allows excellent pleural access but a larger biopsy channel (currently 2 mm) might increase the accuracy of diagnosis [1].
  • The fibrin sealant consists of 2 components: fibrinogen, factor XIII, and albumin dissolved in aprotinin (3,000 KIU/ml), and a thrombin calcium chloride solution, which is applied through the working channel of a thoracoscope and vaporized with nitrous oxide [2].
  • Between May 1997 and June 1998, a total of 78 patients with PAH or AH underwent ETSB by clipping using an 8-mm, 0 degrees thoracoscope [3].
