Hyperthermic Isolated Lung Perfusion (HILP) can be performed using moderate or true hyperthermia (39 and 41 degrees C, respectively). Under these conditions, does it occurs a significant effusion from the sane parenchima? Is this effusion exudative or transudative in nature?
Does HILP also increases the rate of transudative effusion in the metastases-affected lung parenchima?
Thank you for your answers.

CONCLUSION: (1) Circular intrapleural hyperthermic perfusion is a new, safe, and effective treatment for MPE. (2) Apoptosis-mediated cytocidal function, improvement of body immunity after hyperthermic perfusion and continuous wash of the perfusion fluid are important mechanisms of intrapleural hyperthermic perfusion in treatment of MPE caused by lung carcinoma.
