  • Title: Bilateral thoracic duct ligation for persisting postoperative chylothorax.
    Author: Rouiller B, Lutz JA, Kocher GJ, Magnusson L.
    Journal: Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg; 2020 Oct 01; 31(4):583-584. PubMed ID: 33091929.
    Abstract:
    Herein, we report the case of a patient with persistent postoperative chylothorax despite right supradiaphragmal ligation of the thoracic duct. Computed tomography lymphangiography after lipiodol injection demonstrated a correctly ligated right thoracic duct but an anatomical variation with patent left-sided thoracic duct, which was successfully ligated afterwards by video-assisted thoracic surgery.
