Chylothorax secondary to venous outflow obstruction treated with transcervical retrograde thoracic duct cannulation with embolization and venous reconstruction [PDF]
Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2018 A chylothorax may be due to either direct trauma or occlusion of the thoracic duct. Treatments include antegrade or retrograde glue and coil embolization as well as thoracic duct stent graft placement.

Thoracic duct embolization. [PDF]
Semin Intervent Radiol, 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.

Novel Use of Obsidio Conformable Embolic in Thoracic Duct Embolization [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Interventional Radiology ISVIRChylothorax is a potentially serious condition resulting from thoracic duct injury. When chyle output remains high despite medical management, invasive interventions such as surgical ligation or percutaneous thoracic duct embolization (TDE) may be ...

Technical Note: Thoracic duct embolization for treatment of chylothorax: A novel guidance technique for puncture using combined MRI and fluoroscopy [PDF]
Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging, 2012 Thoracic duct embolization (TDE) is an established radiological interventional procedure for thoracic duct injuries. Traditionally, it is done under fluoroscopic guidance after opacifying the thoracic duct with bipedal lymphangiography.

Efficacy of Iopamidol for Sealing an Injured Thoracic Duct: Pilot Experiments in a Large Animal [PDF]
Applied Sciences, 2020 Chylothorax can be spontaneously healed by lymphangiography using lipiodol, but pulmonary or systemic embolization is a potential complication. We determined the efficacy of iopamidol for treating chylous leakage in an animal model.

Embolization of the thoracic duct in patients with iatrogenic chylothorax [PDF]
Diseases of the Esophagus, 2021 SummaryChylothorax is leakage of lymphatic fluid accumulating in the pleural cavity due to the thoracic duct’s (TD) trauma or obstructions. It generally occurs as a traumatic complication after general thoracic surgery procedures (0.4%), especially after esophagectomy (4.7–8.6%).

Lymphangiography and thoracic duct embolization following unsuccessful thoracic duct ligation: Imaging findings and outcomes [PDF]
Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2018 To summarize the imaging findings and outcomes of thoracic duct (TD) embolization (TDE) performed in patients with chylous leaks persisting after TD ligation (TDL).In this review of 50 patients (30 males and 20 females; median age, 54 years) referred for TDE following unsuccessful surgical TDL, records were reviewed for lymphangiographic findings ...
