Thoracoscopic Pericardial Window Creation and Thoracic Duct Ligation in Neonates
OBJECTIVE We describe 2 newborn infants with persistent pericardial effusion treated with thoracoscopic pericardial window and thoracic duct ligation. METHODS Patient 1 was a premature female newborn who presented with severe cardiac anomalies, including dextrocardia. She was treated with pulmonary artery handing and pacemaker placement for complete cardiac block. Postoperatively, she develop...
متن کاملThoracoscopic ligation of thoracic duct for spontaneous chylothorax.
Spontaneous chylothorax, without a predisposing factor is an uncommon cause of pleural effusion beyond the neonatal period. We present a case of left sided spontaneous chylothorax in a 20-month-old boy. We report successful management of this difficult problem with thoracoscopic ligation of thoracic duct after a failed trial with conservative management.
متن کاملThoracoscopic Thoracic Duct Ligation for Congenital and Acquired Disease.
PURPOSE Congenital and acquired chylothorax presents a unique management challenge in neonates and infants. A failure of conservative therapy requires surgical ligation to prevent continued fluid and protein losses. This article examines a 15-year experience with thoracoscopic ligation of the thoracic duct. PATIENTS AND METHODS From June 1999 to December 2013, 21 patients presented with chylo...
متن کاملThoracoscopic Thoracic Duct Ligation for Persistent Cervical Chyle Leak: Utility of Immediate Pathologic Confirmation
OBJECTIVE Chylous fistulas can occur after neck surgery. Both nonoperative measures and direct fistula ligation may lead to fistula resolution. However, a refractory fistula requires upstream thoracic duct ligation. This can be accomplished minimally invasively. Success depends on lymphatic flow interruption where the duct enters the thorax. We report on the utility of frozen section confirmati...
متن کاملA left thoracic approach in a prone position for thoracoscopic thoracic duct ligation in a patient with post-esophagectomy chylothorax: A case report
INTRODUCTION We debate whether or not to approach from right thorax for the left chylothorax after esophagectomy. PRESENTATION OF CASE A 50s-year-old female underwent right-sided thoracoscopic esophagectomy with three-field lymphadenectomy for esophageal carcinoma (type 0-IIa, 3.4×2.2cm, T1bN0M0, Stage IA), followed by reconstruction with esophagogastric anastomosis through the posterior medi...
