Abstract:
This report describes the case of a 9-year-old boy with a single ventricular pathway land complex cardiac issue. After multiple cardiac procedures, including a non-fenestrated Fontan shunt at the age of 5 years, the patient presented 2 years later with a recurrent history of cough with whitish, thick and rubbery sputum and shortness of breath and was eventually diagnosed with PB. The patient was treated with medical therapy and failed; at this time, ligation of the thoracic duct was performed, which was a life-saving intervention for him.
