“…Careful patient selection is required prior to LAT: a detailed history regarding the disease process including previous occupational exposure (e.g., asbestos) and previous malignant disease is important. A baseline functional assessment is useful to assess suitability to proceed with the procedure as well as potential treatment, and therefore, a World Health Organisation Performance Status of 2 or above is recommended [ 27 , 28 ]. The patient’s medical comorbidities may provide important information regarding the patient’s risk factors for the procedure, including drug intolerances and allergies.…”

“…Formal anticoagulation should be withheld for 24 h for therapeutic low molecular weight heparin, 5 days for warfarin and normally 48 h for direct oral anticoagulants (although dagibatran might need to be stopped 4 days before a procedure if the patient’s creatinine clearance is less than 50 millilitres per minute)) and platelet counts should be greater than 50,000 per microlitre of blood and the international normalised ratio should be less than 1.5 [ 4 , 27 , 28 , 29 ]. Of note, it is our opinion that whilst platelet count is an established level in the BTS guidance [ 28 , 29 ], platelet activity is also important, and advice from haematology might be obtained prior to a procedure in a thrombocytopenic patient. Prior to LAT, chest radiograph and CT images should be obtained in conjunction with thoracic ultrasonography (TUS) to assess technical suitability and optimal point for thoracoscopy.…”

“…Die Aufklärung von Patienten und Familienmitgliedern über den richtigen Umgang mit dem IPC stellt mit großer Wahrscheinlichkeit wirksame Präventionsstrategie dar. Bei Patienten, die eine Chemotherapie erhalten, sollten IPCs nicht entfernt werden, um das Infektionsrisiko zu senken, da die gemeldeten Infektionsraten ähnlich hoch sind wie bei Patienten mit IPCs, die keine Chemotherapie erhalten [96, 97, 100].…”

“…Dies ist eine seltene, wenn auch möglicherweise unterberichtete Komplikation (<1%) bei der Einführung von IPCs, die nicht mit Mesotheliomen in Verbindung stehen [97, 101, 102]. Die Behandlung ist rein palliativ mit Analgesie und ggf.…”
