Antegrade or retrograde approach for thoracic duct embolization? Inhalation may be part of the answer

[摘要] We read with great interest the nice case reported by Rott et al. regarding their successful transvenous retrograde thoracic duct embolization (Rott and Boecker 2020). This is a very interesting and promising technique that should probably be considered and used more often. The authors reported some difficulties in navigating the thoracic duct due to its small caliber. We were wondering if they had used any dynamic maneuver to try to open the thoracic duct valves.
