Abstract
A case of thorombosis of the superior vena cava (SVC) was complicated by unilateral chylothorax . Removal of the SVC clot and repairing its stenosis with geor-tex patch led to the prompt resolution of the chylothorax . Chylothorax is an uncommon result of obstruction of the SVC. The most reported cause is the placement of the central venous catheters.(1-6) We describe a case of chylothorax after atrial septal defect( ASD) repair with single pericardial patch.
