Abstract:
Percutaneous endovascular techniques established in interventional cardiology and radiology are well-suited for managing lymphatic conduction disorders. In this article, we provide a synopsis of technical aspects of these procedures, including access of the thoracic duct, selective lymphatic embolization, and management of thoracic duct obstruction. In aggregate, these techniques have developed into an integral component of multidisciplinary management of these complex diseases.
