Chylous leakage from the thoracic duct into the pleural space may occur after any type of thoracic surgery; however, there are few reports of this condition after coronary artery bypass grafting. A case of chylothorax after combined coronary bypass and mitral valve replacement is reported to illustrate a discussion of its pathologic basis, diagnosis ...

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1993
Chylothorax complicating pulmonary resections is exceptional and management of this complication remains controversial. We report a case of chylothorax after a right pneumonectomy and radical subcarinal nodal dissection. Successful nonoperative management consisted of controlled tube drainage, fasting, and total parenteral nutritional support for a ...

Thoracic Surgery Clinics, 2015
Chylothorax is an unusual but serious complication of thoracic surgical procedures, and may carry considerable morbidity if not addressed in a timely fashion. Thoracic surgeons should be able to promptly diagnose this complication, and understand the implications of prolonged chyle loss to the patient. Conservative measures are often successful; direct

Over a period of 22 years, chylothorax developed in 9 of 1,800 patients who underwent pneumonectomy. Two groups were identified. In group I (n = 5), accelerated opacification of the pneumonectomy space was noted, but the mediastinum remained shifted to the pneumonectomy site. No hemodynamic problems developed and their course was no different from that

Congenital chylothorax (CC) results from multiple lymphatic vessel anomalies or thoracic cavity defects and may accompany other congenital anomalies. Fetal chylothorax may increase the risk of death and complications from pleural space lymphatic fluid accumulation, which compromises lung development, pulmonary, and cardiovascular function and from ...

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2000
Nontraumatic chylothorax is an uncommon condition of thoracic or abdominal origin caused by multiple disorders, of which malignancy is by far the most frequent one. Because gross appearance of pleural fluid is frequently misleading, pleural fluid and serum lipid analysis is required for its diagnosis.

Chylothorax is the accumulation of chyle in the pleural space. In newborns the congenital form is often prenatal diagnosed, while the late variety originates to damage to the thoracic duct by cardiac surgery, diaphragmatic hernia, etc. Clinical presentation results from the accumulation of pleural fluid and the symptoms depends on the size of the ...

Thoracic duct injury resulting in chylothorax is a well-known and documented complication of thoracic surgery. However, chylothorax under tension is a rarely reported complication that results in respiratory and hemodynamic collapse. Early recognition and treatment of this entity are essential for optimal patient outcome. Herein we present two cases of

ACHYLOTHORAX IS AN ACCUMULATION of lymphatic fluid that collects in the pleural space. It is the most common cause of a large pleural effusion in the newborn.1,2 Estimated incidences vary from 1 in 10,000 deliveries to 1 in 2,000 admissions to the NICU.2,3 Chylothorax may be unilateral or, infrequently, bilateral and can occur spontaneously or be ...
