Mesenteric lymphography was used to identify and ligate the thoracic duct in a 1-year-old Himalayan cat with chylothorax. Lymphography revealed the thoracic duct to be intact; however, multiple dilated lymphatics, indicative of lymphangiectasia were evident in the cranial portion of the thorax. Hemostatic clips were used to ligate the thoracic duct. The effusion stopped, and 9 months after surgery, effusion has not recurred.
对一只患有乳糜胸的1岁喜马拉雅猫进行肠系膜淋巴造影，以识别并结扎胸导管。淋巴造影显示胸导管完整；然而，在胸部头端可见多个扩张的淋巴管，提示存在淋巴管扩张。使用止血夹结扎胸导管。积液停止，术后9个月积液未复发。
