    Author: Lee EW, Shin JH, Ko HK, Park J, Kim SH, Sung KB.
    Journal: Korean J Radiol; 2014; 15(6):724-32. PubMed ID: 25469083.
    Abstract:
    In addition to imaging the lymphatics and detecting various types of lymphatic leakage, lymphangiography is a therapeutic option for patients with chylothorax, chylous ascites, and lymphatic fistula. Percutaneous thoracic duct embolization, transabdominal catheterization of the cisterna chyli or thoracic duct, and subsequent embolization of the thoracic duct is an alternative to surgical ligation of the thoracic duct. In this pictorial review, we present the detailed technique, clinical applications, and complications of lymphangiography and thoracic duct embolization.
