Abstract
Chylothorax increases duration of hospitalization after cardiovascular surgery in children. Early diagnosis may reduce the duration of chylothorax. Nutritional strategies remain the cornerstone for management of postoperative chylothorax. The impact of octreotide and surgical intervention is limited when reserved for patients with severe or prolonged drainage.
