Abstract

Thoracic duct embolization is a percutaneous, image-guided intervention used in the management of chylothorax. Chylothorax, or chylous leak in the chest, is a rare condition that represents a spectrum of disorders that have in common leakage of intestinal lymph (chyle) into the thorax. Although conservative and surgical management are the standard of care, we present an overview of lymphangiography and percutaneous thoracic duct embolization.
