Post-interventional infectious complications in percutaneous transabdominal lymphatic interventions: an observational study.

  • Claus Christian Pieper‎ et al.
  • Scientific reports‎
  • 2023‎

The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the occurrence of infectious complications and inflammatory reactions after transabdominal lymphatic-interventions. 63 lymphatic-interventions were performed in 60 patients (male/female: 35/25; mean age 56 [9-85] years) [chylothorax n = 48, chylous ascites n = 7, combined chylothorax/chylous ascites n = 5]. Post-interventional clinical course and laboratory findings were analyzed in the whole cohort as well as subgroups without (group A; n = 35) and with peri-interventional antibiotics (group B; n = 25) (pneumonia n = 16, drainage-catheter inflammation n = 5, colitis n = 1, cystitis n = 1, transcolonic-access n = 2). No septic complications associated with the intervention occurred. Leucocytes increased significantly, peaking on post-interventional day-1 (8.6 ± 3.9 × 106 cells/mL vs. 9.8 ± 4.7 × 106 cells/mL; p = 0.009) and decreased thereafter (day-10: 7.3 ± 2.7 × 106 cells/mL, p = 0.005). CRP-values were pathological in 89.5% of patients already at baseline (40.1 ± 63.9 mg/L) and increased significant on day-3 (77.0 ± 78.8 mg/L, p < 0.001). Values decreased thereafter (day-15: 25.3 ± 34.4 mg/L, p = 0.04). In subgroup B, 13/25 patients had febrile episodes post-interventionally (pneumonia n = 11, cystitis n = 1, drainage-catheter inflammation n = 1). One patient developed biliary peritonitis despite continued antibiotics and underwent cholecystectomy. Baseline leucocytes and CRP-levels were higher in group B than A, but with comparable post-interventional profiles. Clinically relevant infectious complications associated with transabdominal lymphatic-interventions are rare irrespective of peri-interventional antibiotic use. Post-interventional elevation of leucocytes and CRP are observed with normalization over 10-15 days.
