Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Chylothorax carries significant mortality and morbidity. Patients with high-output chylothorax have traditionally been managed by surgical treatment if nonoperative management has proved unsuccessful. Newer, more recent percutaneous techniques used to treat chylothorax are safer and less invasive than surgery. We present three cases that have been successfully managed using these percutaneous techniques. |
