Lymphoscintigraphy demonstrating thoracic duct injury in an infant with hypoplastic left heart syndrome
Clin Nucl Med.

Abstract
Chylous effusion is an infrequent complication of cardiothoracic surgery and a less frequent complication of central line placement. The authors describe a novel application of lymphoscintigraphy showing thoracic duct injury in an infant after surgery for hypoplastic left heart syndrome.
