    Author: Sade RM, Wiles HB.
    Journal: J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 1990 Oct; 100(4):621-3. PubMed ID: 2214838.
    Abstract:
    Persistent effusions of chylous fluid may prolong the hospitalization period of many patients who have had a Fontan procedure. Herein we report the case histories of two patients in whom use of a pleuroperitoneal shunt to control the effusion shortened the hospital stay by several weeks.
