Lymphatic Interventional Treatment for Chyluria via Retrograde Thoracic Duct Access

Saebeom Hur et al. J Vasc Interv Radiol. 2021 Jun.

Abstract

Chyluria is the leakage of intestinal lymph (chyle) into the urine. Novel lymphatic intervention techniques, such as interstitial lymphatic embolization, proved to be a useful treatment option for chyluria. However, one of the challenges of this approach is the difficulty in identifying connections between the lymphatic system and kidney collecting system. Here, embolization of the abnormal lymphatic connection through retrograde thoracic duct access in 3 chyluria patients is introduced.
