Gorham-Stout syndrome is a rare disease characterized by vascular proliferation in the bones, effecting osteolysis. When it is complicated by chylothorax, the prognosis is poor. The present case illustrates successful management of chylothorax by a combination of surgery (thoracic duct ligation and excision of lymphangiomatous tissue combined with pleurodesis) and treatment with alpha-2b interferon. Treatment in 38 published cases is reviewed.

The Outback catheter was safe and effective when used in complicated recanalization procedures in the superficial femoral and popliteal artery and the tibial trunk.
