Right chylothorax combined with chylopericardium and right diaphragmatic paralysis after coronary revascularization by bilateral internal mammary arteries

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: Being very rare, we would like to share our experience with a case of right chylothorax, chylopericardium and right diaphragmatic paralysis complicating coronary revascularization by bilateral internal mammary arteries. His mode of presentation and investigations are reported. He was successfully managed via a right thoracotomy. We aim to highlight the possibility of anatomical variations and congenital anomalies that might be overlooked in such cases.
