  • Title: Mesenteric lymphography and ligation of the thoracic duct in a cat with chylothorax.
    Author: Fossum TW, Birchard SJ, Arnold PA.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1985 Nov 15; 187(10):1036-7. PubMed ID: 4066459.
    Abstract:
    Mesenteric lymphography was used to identify and ligate the thoracic duct in a 1-year-old Himalayan cat with chylothorax. Lymphography revealed the thoracic duct to be intact; however, multiple dilated lymphatics, indicative of lymphangiectasia were evident in the cranial portion of the thorax. Hemostatic clips were used to ligate the thoracic duct. The effusion stopped, and 9 months after surgery, effusion has not recurred.
