Thoracic Duct Embolization for Chylous Leaks [PDF]

Seminars in Interventional Radiology, 2011
Chylous leaks, such as chylothorax and chylopericardium, are uncommon effusions resulting from the leakage of intestinal lymphatic fluid from the thoracic duct (TD) and its tributaries, or intestinal lymphatic ducts. The cause can be either traumatic (thoracic surgery) or nontraumatic (idiopathic, malignancy).

Efficacy of Iopamidol for Sealing an Injured Thoracic Duct: Pilot Experiments in a Large Animal

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.
