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

Chylothorax is a rare primary or secondary condition the optimum management of which remains uncertain.Twenty cases of chylothorax, including ten of primary chylothorax and ten secondary to either malignancy, subclavian vein thrombosis or lymphangioma treated between 1956 and 1986 have been reviewed.Open pleurectomy was the most successful treatment in

Critical Care Medicine, 1985
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 ...

Chylothorax and Pseudochylothorax
Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1985Both chylothorax and pseudochylothorax are characterized by milky or turbid pleural effusions. The importance of distinguishing these two conditions cannot be overemphasized because the prognosis and management are different.

Chylothorax and Chyloperitoneum
New England Journal of Medicine, 2006A 76-year-old man underwent elective repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm, and in the subsequent eight weeks, exertional dyspnea, orthopnea, and abdominal pain developed. On physical examination, the patient was afebrile, and his vital signs were normal. There was a dull percussion note and decreased breath sounds over the right lower lung field. The

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.

To the Editor .—The article by Kurtz and Hsu in theArchives(115:73-74, 1980) regarding resolution of chylothorax after positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) ventilation is enlightening and a logical approach to the clinical problem. Several years ago, Bittar and I 1 undertook to determine the mechanism by which patients receiving PEEP ventilation ...

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1985
A series of 15 patients was treated for chylothorax over a 20-year period. The anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the thoracic duct are described, and a plan for the management of chylothorax is presented. If conservative therapy (e.g., aspiration or drainage with restriction of oral intake and intravenous replacement) is not successful after two to ...
