Iatrogenic injury to the thoracic duct followed percutaneous cannulation of the left internal jugular vein. The case was managed successfully by supraclavicular ligation of the thoracic duct. We feel cannulation of the right internal jugular vein is preferable to cannulation of the left internal jugular vein.

The thoracic duct is a major anatomic structure of the upper part of the abdomen, chest, and the lower part of the neck. This article reviews the embryology, anatomy, and multiple variations of the thoracic duct. Proper knowledge of this anatomy should ease understanding the pathophysiology of diseases involving the lymph channels and also prevent ...

Thoracic duct injury is a rare consequence of both blunt and penetrating trauma; it is most commonly due to iatrogenic injury following neck or chest surgery, particularly esophagectomy. It can be associated with significant morbidity including sepsis, malnutrition, dehydration, and electrolyte abnormalities, these complications can result in death if ...

RADIOLOGY OF THE THORACIC DUCT
American Journal of Roentgenology, 1971The appearance of the thoracic duct was analyzed in 390 sequential lymphangiograms.The classic bulbous dilatation of the cisterna chyli was visualized in 53 per cent of cases. It was located at the T-12 to L-2 levels and was usually less than 5 cm. in length.The thoracic duct varied in size from 1 to 7 mm.

Bilateral Thoracic Duct Cannulation
Archives of Surgery, 1964The management of chylothorax remained a subject of academic interest until 1948 when Lampson 13 performed the first successful transthoracic ligation of the thoracic duct for the cure of a traumatic chylothorax. Before this time the mortality rate for chylothorax was 50%.

Chylothorax occurs as a result of (primarily iatrogenic) injury of the thoracic duct or as a result of increased capillary permeability (caused primarily by malignoma) in the pleura. Prompt surgical therapy avoids loss of protein, vitamins, electrolytes and lymphocytes; furthermore, with early intervention, pleural adhesions are still easily divided ...

On the left side the thoracic duct can be injured following a stab or a puncture injury to the root of the neck. Although largely fatal, the survivors of such penetrating injuries to the left subclavian triangle may sustain laceration or division of the thoracic duct in addition to more important and more dramatic soft tissue injuries.
