Abstract

Background: Chylothorax is a serious complication that may occur after pediatric cardiac surgery. We report the case of a 17-month-old infant with complex congenital heart disease of the single-ventricle type, who developed recurrent massive pleural effusion after a bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt (Glenn procedure). This case illustrates a recognized complication that may be difficult to manage.
