Central venous catheter-related thrombosis
Abstract:
Central venous catheter-related thrombosis can lead to the concurrent occurrence of chylothorax and chylopericardium. This article reports a case of end-stage kidney disease with long-term dialysis catheter use, resulting in central vein stenosis and the rare complication of combined chylothorax and chylopericardium.
