    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    High translumbar aortograms can lead to chylothorax, a rare complication causing shortness of breath. Early diagnosis and management are crucial, though surgical intervention may be necessary.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Translumbar aortography is an imaging technique used to visualize the aorta and its branches.
    • Arterial disease diagnosis can involve invasive procedures like aortography.
    • Chylothorax is the accumulation of chyle in the pleural space.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report two cases of chylothorax following translumbar aortography.
    • To review the literature on chylothorax as a complication of aortography.
    • To discuss the management strategies for post-aortography chylothorax.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report of two patients.
    • Review of existing medical literature on chylothorax and aortography.
    • Analysis of management approaches, including conservative and surgical options.

    Related Experiment Videos

    Main Results:

    • Two patients developed chylothorax 48 hours post-aortography.
    • Initial conservative management failed in both cases.
    • Surgical intervention was required, with one patient mortality.

    Conclusions:

    • Chylothorax is a potential complication of translumbar aortography.
    • Prompt recognition and appropriate management are vital for patient outcomes.
    • Further research into preventative and therapeutic strategies is warranted.
