Lymphangiographic Interventions to Manage Postoperative Chylothorax.

Conclusion: This study showed that radiological interventions reduced the duration of drainage and the length of hospital stay, allowing an earlier return to normal life. To overcome several limitations of this study, a prospective, randomized controlled trial with a larger number of patients is recommended. PMID: 31832377 [PubMed]
