  • Title: Pleurovenous shunting technique for treatment of chylothorax in three dogs.
    Author: Willauer CC, Breznock EM.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1987 Nov 01; 191(9):1106-9. PubMed ID: 3693029.
    Abstract:
    The operative technique for placement of a pleurovenous shunt catheter is described. Pleurovenous shunting was used in the surgical treatment of 3 dogs with chylothorax refractory to medical management. Chylothorax in 2 of the dogs was palliated, but because of severe restrictive fibrous pleuritis, the third dog was euthanatized during follow-up surgery.
