Mechanical pleurodesis is widely used for primary spontaneous pneumothorax as an adjunctive procedure to wedge resection of bullous lesion. It creates adhesion between visceral and parietal pleura by mechanical irritation or partial removal of parietal pleura.
Pleurodesis is a procedure performed to obliterate the pleural space to prevent recurrent pleural effusion or pneumothorax or to treat a persistent pneumothorax.
Percutaneous approach is used for placement of Chest tube for procedure code 32556 & 32557..
Pleurodesis injects medication into the pleural space to minimize the amount of fluid that can collect there. Unlike temporary procedures such as thoracentesis, pleurodesis is generally a long-term, even permanent solution to prevent the accumulation of pleural fluid.
Pleurodesis offers a more permanent solution than the other common procedures for treating pleural effusions. A thoracentesis procedure drains excess fluid but does not seal the pleural space, while the insertion of a pleural catheter requires regular home maintenance, potentially for the rest of a patient's life.
Pleurodesis is a procedure that sticks your lung to your chest wall. This procedure removes the space between your lung and your chest wall (pleural space) so that fluid or air no longer builds up between the layers.
Medical Thoracoscopy/Pleural Biopsy and Pleurodesis Thoracoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure traditionally performed to diagnose and/or treat pleural lung disease. Your pleura is a large, thin sheet of tissue that wraps around the outside of your lungs and lines the inside of your chest cavity.
VATS pleurodesis is a surgery that treats a buildup of air or extra fluid around your lungs.

32555 is for puncture of the pleural space with the insertion of a needle or catheter placed for aspiration of fluid. After the procedure is complete, the catheter or needle is removed. 32557 for placement of a non-tunneled chest tube into the pleural space for drainage, and will remain in pleural space.
Answer: Code 32557 describes the placement of an indwelling catheter into the pleural space with imaging guidance for drainage of air (pneumothorax), fluid or infection, and covers this procedure. Code 32551 is for “OPEN” chest tube placement, usually by a surgeon, with a large, usually about 30Fr or so chest tube.
