Summary
This small pilot study tested a new catheter to safely drain fluid from the chest in 10 adults with cancer-related pleural effusions. The goal was to ease symptoms like shortness of breath by removing fluid buildup. Researchers checked for side effects and whether the catheter helped seal the space between the lung and chest wall.
