A 71-year-old man with high-volume right chylothorax following lung cancer resection undergoing thoracic duct embolization. ( a ) Digital subtraction lymphangiography from a needle (white arrowhead) puncturing the cisterna chyli (black arrow) reveals abrupt transection of the thoracic duct with extravasation (black arrowheads) into the right pleural space. ( b ) Multiple microcoils were tightly packed below the level of injury (between the black arrowheads). ( c ) Below the lowest microcoil (black arrowhead), glue was injected (black arrow).
