Milky-white pleural effusion complicating peripherically inserted central venous catheter for total parenteral nutrition

M Díaz et al. Eur J Clin Nutr. 2005 Feb.

Abstract

Pleural effusion secondary to vascular perforation and leakage of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is a rare complication of central lines. We report such a case and urge physicians to familiarize with recognition and management of this rare complication as both TPN and central catheter lines are widely used techniques.
