Abstract
Background: Patients with pyogenic lung abscess who do not respond to medical therapy are usually candidates for thoracotomy with pulmonary resection. Percutaneous tube drainage, used routinely and with good results before the antibiotic era, has nearly been forgotten. Methods: We treated 8 patients who had poor cadidates for a lobectomy and didn't respond to medical management. A pig-tail catheter (6 to 10 Fr.) was inserted into the abscess under the fluoroscopic guidance. Results: All patients brought about dramatic clinical responses with prompt closure of cavity and radiographic improvement. Conclusion: Percutaneous pig-tail catheter drainage provides excellent clnical results with ease and safety, and avoids unnecessary loss of functioning lung parenchyma. But lobectomy should be considered in patients who major life-threatening bleeding or massive pulmonary necrosis.
연구배경 : 폐농양의 환자들중 1주일이상 항생제와 고식요법에 반응하지 않으며 수술 또한 용이하지 않은 환자들을 대상으로 pig-tail 도관을 이용한 경피적 배농 치료를 하였다. 방법 : 형광투시하에 국소마취후 6~10Fr.의 pig-tail 도관을 삽입하여 엑스-선상 공동이 소실되고 도관을 통한 농이 배출이 안될 때 도관을 제거하였다. 결과: 1) Pig-tail 도관을 이용한 경피적 배농 직후 모든 환자에서 엑스-선상 공기-수평선은 소실되었으며 시술후 3일 이내에 체온도 정상화되었다. 2) 폐농양의 경피적 배농에 따른 임상적으로 유의있는 합병증은 없었다. 3) 폐농양의 평균 크기는
