Percutaneous thoracic duct embolisation for persistent chyle leak (HTG666)
Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous thoracic duct embolisation for persistent chyle leak. In this procedure, under general anaesthesia, ultrasound and X-rays are used to create an image of the thoracic duct and find the leak. Then, using a needle, a tube is inserted through the abdominal wall (percutaneous) and guided into the thoracic duct. Small metal coils and medical glue are inserted through the tube and used to plug the leak (embolisation). The aim is to stop the leak.
