Lymphatic Leakage in Pediatric Heart Transplantation: Early Recognition and Timely Management with Interventional Radiologic and Endoscopic Therapy
Protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) is a severe complication of the Fontan procedure that leads to systemic complications owing to enteric protein loss. Hepatoduodenal lymphatic leakage resulting from increased lymphatic pressure is one such complication. We present the case of a pediatric heart transp...

description | Protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) is a severe complication of the Fontan procedure that leads to systemic complications owing to enteric protein loss. Hepatoduodenal lymphatic leakage resulting from increased lymphatic pressure is one such complication. We present the case of a pediatric heart transplant patient who experienced refractory PLE symptoms requiring serial albumin infusions and exhibited lymphatic leakage into the duodenum. Using diagnostic lymphangiography and endoscopy, we identified the affected area and treated it successfully with endoscopic sclerotherapy using ethanolamine injection. This treatment allowed for the cessation of lymphatic fluid and may serve as a potential intervention for PLE-associated hepatoduodenal lymphatic leakage. The present case highlights the importance of early recognition and timely intervention with radiology and endoscopic therapy to manage PLE and its associated complications. |
