The first utilisation in our hospital of a pleuraperitoneal shunt for the treatment of chronic pleurisy enabled us to study, in the light of published data, the place for such a procedure in the management of resistant pleural effusion. The aetiology of the pleurisy in a 70-year old patient who underwent this mini-invasive surgery was unknown when the shunt was inserted, but his symtoms clearly improved afterwards. At the present time with a follow-up of 13 months, there are no local complications and the system is in good working order. In 1982, the material used for the first time in such a case was an adapted version of Denver's peritoneal venous shunt. This is composed of a pleural catheter linked by a pump that the patient controls himself, to a peritoneal catheter. This pump can be inserted under local anaesthetic. The principal indications in the literature, in which the series do not exceed 70 cases are: malignant pleurisy where it is preferable to introducing tale in the case of tissue retraction fastening to the underlying lung and also in chylous pleurisy, especially those secondary to congenital east disease in children. A complication rate of 25% is noted depending on the type of infection or obstruction leading to replacement of the shunt. No case of erosion has been noted. The long term patency, measured by radio-isotope injections (Tc99m), has not been studied but there is a significant reduction in the length of hospital stay which gives a clear economic advantage to such procedures.
