Spontaneous contractions of the human thoracic duct—Important for securing lymphatic return during positive pressure ventilation?

Physiological Reports, 2022
The thoracic duct is responsible for the circulatory return of most lymphatic fluid. The return is a well‐timed synergy between the pressure in the thoracic duct, venous pressure at the thoracic duct outlet, and intrathoracic pressures during respiration.

Thoracic Duct Embolization [PDF]

Seminars in Interventional Radiology, 2011
Percutaneous treatment of chylothorax was developed as a minimally invasive alternative to surgical options. The treatment consists of diagnostic pedal lymphangiography followed by transabdominal catheterization of the cisterna chyli (CC)/thoracic duct (TD) and embolization of the TD proximal to the chyle leak.
