Open surgical treatment of idiopathic chylothorax via thoracic duct ligation and pericardiectomy requires a lengthy procedure with two thoracotomy incisions. The objectives of this report were to describe an approach for thoracic duct ligation and pericardiectomy via a single thoracotomy at the left fourth intercostal space and to describe the clinical outcome in two dogs with idiopathic chylothorax. Dogs were prospectively enrolled in a pilot study to evaluate the clinical efficacy of thoracic duct ligation at the left fourth intercostal space, combined with subphrenic pericardiectomy performed through the same incision.

Open-window thoracostomy is an effective treatment for refractory postpneumonectomy empyema. However, it can leave large thoracic dead space, and bronchopleural fistulas (BPF) are a common major complication. These problems can be treated with myocutaneous flap transfer or negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT).

Article Synopsis
- EMS clinicians handle traumatic pneumothoraxes, including simple ones that are less severe and tension pneumothoraxes that can lead to serious complications like shock.
- The most common treatment for tension pneumothorax in EMS is needle thoracostomy, but its frequent misapplication and low success rates have raised concerns about its effectiveness.
- The National Association of EMS Physicians conducted a literature review to create evidence-based recommendations for managing traumatic pneumothoraxes, addressing the need for proper decompression techniques and clarifying procedures for open pneumothoraxes.
