Abstract
|
|
|
|
Chylothorax is a rare but serious and well-recognized complication of thoracic and cardiac procedures. A postoperative chylothorax developed in a 3-month-old male patient after ligation of patent ductus arteriosus and repair of coarctation of aorta. He was treated successfully with conservative management using a combination of parenteral octreotide and medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) -enriched fomula with pleural drainage. We report a case of successful conservative treatment using octreotide for postoperative chylothorax.
