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%.
