A critical evaluation of a percutaneous diagnostic and treatment strategy for chylothorax after thoracic surgery☆☆☆

Abstract: There is a discrepancy between the clinical diagnosis of chylothorax after thoracic surgery and the presumed gold standard of diagnosis, contrast extravasation at lymphangiogram. Percutaneous treatment by thoracic duct embolization or disruption is safe and may obviate reoperation, but embolization of the thoracic duct is preferable to its disruption.
