Abstract

The article discusses a study on the efficacy of thoracic duct embolization (TDE) in the treatment of nontraumatic chylous effusions. This study involved 34 patients with nontraumatic chylous effusions from the Hospital of University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. The study shows a high success rate of TDE in cases of thoracic duct occlussion and extravasation. It also shows the importance of lymphangiography in the identification of the cause of chylous effusions.
