RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Thoracic duct embolization via chest tube for a patient with postoperative traumatic chylothorax JF Canadian Journal of Surgery JO CAN J SURG FD Canadian Medical Association SP E650 OP E653 DO 10.1503/cjs.022119 VO 64 IS 6 A1 Erin Williams A1 Nader Hanna A1 Ben Mussari A1 Wiley Chung YR 2021 UL http://canjsurg.ca/content/64/6/E650.abstract AB We present the case of a 53-year-old man who experienced a postoperative chyle leak after minimally invasive esophagectomy with mass ligation of the thoracic duct; conservative management failed. Interventional radiology was unsuccessful initially in accessing the cisterna chyli with conventional methods, yet ethiodized oil was noted at the tip of his right chest tube. The chest tube and its tract were used as an avenue to access the thoracic duct and successfully facilitate its embolization.
