Thoracic-duct lymph drainage has recently received attention as the preoperative treatment before renal homotransplantation in man. 1-3 Singh et al 4 demonstrated a prolongation of homograft survival time upon thoracic-duct lymph drainage during renal homotransplantation in dogs.

An instrument for cannulation of the thoracic duct
The Laryngoscope, 1973AbstractA new thoracic duct cannulation needle has been created by modifying a Vim‐Silverman biopsy needle. Its use in 10 experiments is described. The needle was shown to facilitate cannulation by preventing lymph leakage and duct collapse. It allowed recannulation of the duct when the cannula clotted during long‐term thoracic duct drainage.

Spontaneous thoracic duct cyst
European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, 2003Spontaneous and asymptomatic supraclavicular thoracic duct cysts (lymphoceles ) are rare. Only five cases have been reported so far. They are more common after surgery or trauma and have been reported in the abdomen, mediastinum, pelvis and neck. They must be differentiated from other neck cysts as failure to recognise their attachment may result in ...

Visualization of the thoracic duct by lymphoscintigraphy
European Journal of Nuclear Medicine, 1987Imaging of the thoracic duct is usually performed by radiological lymphography. However, this procedure, which uses an oil based dye injected directly into the lymph channels, has some adverse effects. In this paper we note that lymphoscintigraphy, a physiological and non invasive method, may visualize thoracic duct abnormalities, and might be ...

The thoracic duct and the Fontan patient
Echocardiography, 2017BackgroundUltrasound imaging of adults with heart failure and increased central venous pressure (CVP) has shown significant thoracic duct (TD) dilation from impedance in lymphatic drainage. Elevated CVP and abnormal lymphatic drainage are implicated in severe Fontan complications, including protein losing enteropathy (PLE) and plastic bronchitis (PB ...

Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 2005
Thoracic duct cysts are rare lesions presenting as mediastinal or supraclavicular masses. We report a case of a 77-year-old female who presented with a left supraclavicular mass. A cervical thoracic duct cyst was suspected after contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) of the neck and chest.

Mediastinal Thoracic Duct Cyst
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2009Thoracic duct cysts of the mediastinum are rare. This case report describes a 68-year-old woman who was successfully treated with surgical resection. The clinical and radiographic presentation and pathology are discussed, and the pertinent literature is reviewed.

Mediastinal Thoracic Duct Cyst
Chest, 1999A healthy 34-year-old man had a mediastinal cyst on the imaging study. Surgical treatment was performed. The cyst was diagnosed as a thoracic duct cyst from its anatomic location and contents. Pathologic examination found it to be consistent with thoracic duct cyst.

Radiology, 1963
Chylothorax or chylous ascites is an occasional result of abdominal or thoracic trauma or of surgical procedures. There are two earlier reports (3, 7) of injury to the thoracic duct following aortography, and this paper records an additional case. Although the injury may be deduced from the chylous effusion, the difficulty lies in identification of the
