Abstract: In this study, we describe an intrathoracic microsurgical lymphatico-venous anastomosis as an alternative surgical technique for the treatment of refractory chylothorax in an infant. This procedure allowed us to restore enteral nutrition within days of surgery. At 3-year follow-up, there was no recurrence of pleural effusion.
