Typical Clinical Scenarios

An adult patient with blunt abdominal trauma presents to the hospital with persistent high-output chylous ascites and hemodynamic instability despite conservative management; the surgical team performs an open exploration to locate and remove a damaged drainage catheter or device within the cisterna chyli to control lymphatic leak and allow definitive repair. Typical codes: 07PL00Z , 07PL0CZ
An elderly patient with chronic malignant chylous leakage related to lymphoma undergoes a planned percutaneous drainage-device removal after oncologic therapy resolves the fluid collection; the inpatient admission is for monitored device removal and observation due to comorbidities and risk of recurrent chyle accumulation. Typical codes: 07PL30Z , 07PL3CZ
A postoperative patient develops infection around an implanted infusion port that communicates with the cisterna chyli region, requiring urgent removal of the intraluminal infusion device via a percutaneous endoscopic approach to eradicate infection and prevent systemic spread. Typical codes: 07PL43Z, 07PL4DZ
