Abstract
Chylothorax is more likely to occur with reoperations and repairs involving the descending thoracic aorta. Although PCT is associated with longer hospital length of stay, it is not associated with increased infectious complications. Early identification and prompt treatment may decrease both early and late morbidity and mortality.
