Intrapleural sclerosing agents are therapeutic compounds instilled directly into the pleural space to perform chemical pleurodesis.
They act by provoking localized chemical irritation and inflammation across the visceral and parietal pleural surfaces, which stimulates fibrotic tissue formation and adheres the pleural layers together.
By obliterating the potential pleural cavity, these agents prevent the pathological re-accumulation of air or fluid.
Their primary clinical applications include the management and recurrence prevention of malignant pleural effusions associated with advanced thoracic and metastatic cancers, as well as recurrent pneumothorax.
