Development of a massive left-sided chylothorax following coronary artery grafting in a 56-year-old man is presented because of its rarity. Management with chest-tube drainage and dietary restrictions of fat with parenteral nutrition were used to treat the patient. Pleural fluid analysis for chyle in presence of massive pleural effusion was the key to early diagnosis and treatment to prevent increased morbidity and mortality. From 1985 to 1997 at this hospital, this complication occurred in 1 out of 18,978 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery; in 6,232 patients, the left internal mammary artery was used. |
