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.
