Secondary chest closure, low body weight, small size, longer cardiopulmonary bypass (242 \u00b1 30 versus 129 \u00b1 5 min) and x-clamp times (111 \u00b1 15 versus 62 \u00b1 3 min) were significantly associated with chylothorax (p &lt; 0.05). One patient was cured with total parenteral nutrition (TPN) and one without any treatment. 24 patients received MCT-diet alone, which was successful in 17 patients within 10 days. After conversion to regular alimentation within one week only one chylothorax relapsed. Out of 7 patients primarily not responsive to MCT-diet, 2 were successfully treated by lysis of a caval vein thrombosis, 2 by TPN + pleurodesis + supradiaphragmatic thoracic duct ligation, one by octreotide treatment, and two patients finally died.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Chylothorax may appear due to injury of the thoracic duct, due to venous or lymphatic congestion, central vein thrombosis, or diffuse injury of mediastinal lymphatic tissue in association with secondary chest closure. Application of MCT alone was effective in 71%, and more invasive treatments like TPN should not be used in primary routine. After resolution of chylothorax, MCT-diet can be converted to regular milk formula within one week and with very low risk of relapse.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1749-8090-5-127","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,1,5]],"date-time":"2011-01-05T20:10:43Z","timestamp":1294258243000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":94,"title":["Chylothorax after surgery on congenital heart disease in newborns and infants -risk factors and efficacy of MCT-diet"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Eva S","family":"Biewer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christoph","family":"Z\u00fcrn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Raoul","family":"Arnold","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Martin","family":"Gl\u00f6ckler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J\u00fcrgen","family":"Schulte-M\u00f6nting","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"Schlensak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sven","family":"Dittrich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,12,13]]},"reference":[{"issue":"12","key":"359_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"716","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1440-1754.2008.01412.x","volume":"44","author":"C Panthongviriyakul","year":"2008","unstructured":"Panthongviriyakul C, Bines JE: Post-operative chylothorax in children: an evidence-based management algorithm.
