Percutaneous Lymphatic Embolization for Chylothorax Secondary to Gorham-Stout Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To assess the role and treatment response of percutaneous lymphatic embolization performed for non-traumatic chylothorax in patients with Gorham-Stout disease (GSD) with regard to thoracic duct embolization (TDE) and embolization of pleural or lymphatic collaterals.

Materials and methods

This retrospective single-institution study included consecutive patients who underwent percutaneous lymphatic embolization between January 2013 and December 2022. The patients underwent dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance lymphangiography, fluoroscopic intranodal lymphangiography, or both to evaluate the lymphatic anatomy prior to the intervention. The patients underwent TDE, pleural lymphatic embolization, or both, depending on the imaging findings. The data collected in
