Recurrent chylothorax treated with thoracic duct–venous anastomosis: A retrospective review of medical recordsCentral MessagePerspective

JTCVS Techniques, 2022
Objectives: Clinically, recurrent chylothorax is challenging to solve, especially when chylothorax is still present after the thoracic duct is ligated. In this study we explored alternative surgical options to treat complex cases of recurrent chylothorax.

Chylothorax treated with targeted sclerotherapy by direct puncture of the lymphatic leakage site

Radiology Case Reports, 2020
We report a novel application of targeted sclerotherapy to eradicate high-output chylothorax. The patient underwent thoracic duct embolization; however, cannulation of the thoracic duct failed, and thoracic duct disruption was performed.
