Successful treatment of plastic bronchitis by selective lymphatic embolization in a Fontan patient.
Plastic bronchitis is a rare and often fatal complication of single-ventricle surgical palliation after total cavopulmonary connection. Although lymphatic abnormalities have been postulated to play a role in the disease process, the etiology and pathophysiology of this complication remain incompletely understood. Here we report on the etiology of plastic bronchitis in a child with total cavopul...
متن کاملPlastic bronchitis chylous reflux and lymphatic imaging: a continuing story.

متن کاملSuperselective retrograde lymphatic duct embolization for management of postoperative lymphatic leak.
Lymphatic leak is a well-documented complication following neck dissection surgeries. When conservative methods fail to control the leak, thoracic duct embolization becomes an option. Transabdominal access is the standard for this procedure; however, it is not always feasible. We discuss a technique of selective lymphatic vessel embolization utilizing retrograde transvenous access.
متن کاملA novel technique in the treatment of retroperitoneal lymphatic leakage: direct percutaneous embolization through the leakage pouch.
Lymphangiography and percutaneous embolization of injured lymphatics are minimally invasive and effective techniques for the diagnosis and treatment of thoracic and retroperitoneal lymphatic leaks. We present a 58-year-old man who had abdominal chylous collection developed after multiple abdominal surgeries. Retroperitoneal lymphatic duct leakage was detected by ultrasound-guided intranodal lym...
