Management Options for Chylothorax After Vascular Ring Repair: Retrospective, Multicenter Cohort in the United States, 2021–2023
Patients with chylothorax after VR more commonly undergo invasive intervention when compared with those with other surgeries. Chest tube output on PODs 2 and 3 may help differentiate VR patients who will need invasive intervention. Chylothorax resolves soon after invasive intervention in VR patients, and in our cohort of 10 there were no procedural-related complications.
