    Abstract:
    Here, we report on a 30-year-old female with primary chylopericardium who successfully underwent thoracic duct clipping and partial pericardiectomy using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Recently, a few cases of this disease have been treated utilizing VATS. This is a fully detailed description of the treatment of primary chylopericardium including a description of intraoperative findings and photographs obtained during the course of VATS.
