Feasibility of ultrasound-guided intranodal lymphangiogram for thoracic duct embolization.
To show the feasibility of opacifying the thoracic duct using ultrasound-guided intranodal lymphangiogram (IL) for thoracic duct embolization (TDE). ⋯ IL is a feasible technique to visualize the thoracic duct for embolization. Using IL, the thoracic duct may be more quickly visualized and catheterized for TDE than with PL.
