Prospective randomized trial of silver nitrate vs talc slurry in pleurodesis for symptomatic malignant pleural effusions
2005, ChestCitation Excerpt :Stowe and coworkers 26 instilled a 1% SN solution in 10 patients and reported only one recurrence. In contrast, Schuster and coworkers 27 injected a 1% SN solution into the pleural space of eight patients and reported that three patients had a recurrence. Although some authors suggested that it was the agent of choice for pleurodesis, its use was abandoned, probably due to severe pain and the occurrence of large pleural effusions.10
