Thoracic duct disruption without lymphangiographic thoracic duct visualization for refractory chylothorax: A case report [PDF]

Radiology Case Reports
Percutaneous treatments, including thoracic duct embolization (TDE) and thoracic duct disruption (TDD), are reportedly effective and safe alternatives to surgical thoracic duct ligation for refractory chylothorax.

Retrograde Transvenous Thoracic Duct Embolization for Tubercular Chylothorax. [PDF]

Cureus
This case study documents the clinical profile of a 27-year-old male patient who visited the medical facility two months ago with complaints of dry cough, fatigue, weight loss, and occasional fever. He had been treated for ascites and pleural effusion in the hospital before presentation and returned with an intercostal drain in place.

Pneumonectomy Space Infection After Thoracic Duct Embolization. [PDF]

Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
Thoracic duct embolization has gained widespread acceptance as an effective treatment of postoperative chylothorax. We describe a patient with chylothorax after pneumonectomy requiring thoracic duct embolization who presented again with a pneumonectomy space infection.

Superselective retrograde lymphatic duct embolization for management of postoperative lymphatic leak [PDF]

Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, 2017
Lymphatic leak is a well-documented complication following neck dissection surgeries. When conservative methods fail to control the leak, thoracic duct embolization becomes an option.

Chylothorax: Percutaneous Embolization of the Thoracic Duct

Operative Techniques in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2015
Thoracic duct embolization is a percutaneous, image-guided intervention used in the management of chylothorax. Chylothorax, or chylous leak in the chest, is a rare condition that represents a spectrum of disorders that have in common leakage of intestinal lymph (chyle) into the thorax.

Feasibility of percutaneous catheterization and embolization of the thoracic duct in dogs [PDF]

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 2011
Abstract Objective—To develop and determine the feasibility of a novel minimally invasive technique for percutaneous catheterization and embolization of the thoracic duct (PCETD) in dogs and to determine thoricic duct TD pressure at rest and during short-term balloon occlusion of the cranial vena cava (CrVC).

Spontaneous Chylothorax following Septic Pulmonary Embolization [PDF]

Case Reports in Pulmonology, 2020
Chylothorax is the occurrence of chyle (lymph) in the pleural cavity secondary to damage of the thoracic duct. It is a rare form of pleural effusion which appears as a milky white turbid fluid.

Novel Interventional Radiology for the Treatment of Various Lymphatic Leakages: Lymphatic Intervention and Embolization [PDF]

Vascular Specialist International, 2023
Little progress has been made in modern lymphatic medicine since Dr. Kinmonth first described pedal lymphangiography in the 1950s. The clinical need for an effective treatment modality for managing lymphatic leakage greatly increased only after ...

Percutaneous Transabdominal Embolization of Thoracic Duct Lacerations in Animals

Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 1996
To develop percutaneous techniques for lacerating the thoracic duct (TD) and to assess the efficacy of percutaneous TD embolization.The TD was catheterized by means of antegrade or antegrade-retrograde techniques after the lymphographically opacified cisterna chyli (CC) was punctured in five swine and one dog.
