Abstract

Post-coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, chylothorax is a rare, but a serious, complication. We report a case of 49-year-old female who underwent CABG, and developed pleural effusion on post-operative day 2 which was milky in nature. Chylothorax was confirmed based on the biochemical analysis of the pleural fluid. As the medical line of management failed, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) was done and thoracic duct clipped on the right side. Close to the proximal portion of the left internal thoracic artery, disrupted tributaries of thoracic duct were noted and clipped. Rarity of the case and management is highlighted.

VATS 胸腔导管剪切术治疗开胸手术后的乳糜胸。

冠状动脉旁路移植术（CABG）术后，乳糜胸是一种罕见但严重的并发症。我们报告了一例接受 CABG 手术的 49 岁女性患者，她在术后第 2 天出现乳白色胸腔积液。根据胸腔积液的生化分析，确认为乳糜胸。由于内科治疗无效，患者接受了视频辅助胸腔镜手术（VATS），并剪断了右侧胸导管。在左胸内动脉近端附近，发现了胸导管中断的支流，并对其进行了剪断。强调了该病例的罕见性和处理方法。
