Abstract
A method for treating a pleural effusion condition by establishing fluid communication with a pleural space, using a catheter attached to a valve that is normally closed but openable by the insertion of a tube in the side opposite the catheter. The catheter is implanted into the pleural space and is periodically accessed by inserting a tube into the valve on the side opposite the catheter to add or remove fluid to and from the pleural space using a negative pressure source.
