specific treatments including somatostatin, octreotide, sirolimus, and pleuroperitoneal shunt.( 7 ) Conservative treatment has an approximately 50 to 80 percent success rate in postoperative chylothorax, with higher success rates reported in patients [jtraumainj.org]

This treatment results in resolution of the chylothorax in 36-61% of cases [4,5]. In cases of high flow output chylothorax or failure of conservative treatment, reoperation is indicated as the next step. [austinpublishinggroup.com]

Treatment The treatment of lymphoedema is essentially conservative. Conservative treatment aims to preserve the quality of the skin, prevent lymphangitis and reduce limb size. [surgwiki.com]

Treatment also includes skin care to prevent injuries, infection, and skin breakdown. Light exercise and movement programs may also be prescribed. [medlineplus.gov]

Prognosis Associated with significant morbidity and mortality due to potential risks of pulmonary embolism, post-thrombotic syndrome and loss of vascular access. About 10-20% develop pulmonary embolism [ 9 ]. [patient.info]
