Dr. Manish Aggarwal, Senior Interventional Pulmonologist & Chest Specialist in Pitampura, Delhi, offers advanced Indwelling Pleural Catheter (IPC) insertion for patients suffering from recurrent pleural effusion, malignant pleural effusion, and trapped lung causing repeated breathlessness and hospital visits.
An Indwelling Pleural Catheter is a minimally invasive long-term drainage solution that helps patients manage recurrent fluid accumulation around the lungs comfortably at home while improving breathing and quality of life. IPC is especially useful in patients where pleural fluid repeatedly reaccumulates despite repeated tapping or when the lung is unable to fully expand (trapped lung).
The procedure is performed using image-guided minimally invasive techniques with emphasis on patient comfort, infection prevention, home drainage education, and long-term symptom relief.
Advanced pleural care services for recurrent pleural effusion, trapped lung, malignant pleural disease, and long-term symptom management.
Minimally invasive placement of IPC for long-term pleural fluid drainage and symptom relief.
Comprehensive care for patients with repeated pleural fluid accumulation and breathlessness.

Get answers about Indwelling Pleural Catheter (IPC), recurrent pleural effusion, trapped lung, and long-term pleural fluid management.
An Indwelling Pleural Catheter (IPC) is a soft, flexible tube placed in the pleural space to allow long-term drainage of fluid at home, helping relieve breathlessness caused by recurrent pleural effusion.
IPC is recommended for patients with recurrent pleural effusion, malignant pleural effusion, or trapped lung where fluid keeps reaccumulating despite repeated drainage procedures.
IPC insertion is a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia, making it relatively comfortable with minimal discomfort during and after the procedure.
Yes, IPC allows patients or caregivers to safely drain pleural fluid at home after proper training, reducing repeated hospital visits.
Trapped lung is a condition where the lung cannot fully expand due to thickened pleura, leading to persistent fluid accumulation and breathlessness.
IPC may remain in place for a variable duration depending on fluid control and underlying disease. In some cases, it can be removed if fluid stops accumulating.
