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.
