which presented a very high risk in Case 1&#44; even if the considered approach was a less invasive option than video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery&#44; which would involve perioperative lung collapse&#46; Although the formal criteria for intra-pleural therapy or the most effective protocol has not yet been defined&#44; the therapy should be considered in patients with contraindication or high risk for surgery&#44;
