Central thrombosis–associated chylothorax is underrecognized in children and frequently refractory to conservative management. Central venous catheterizations are the predominate cause. We present 3 cases highlighting endovascular techniques used to treat persistent chylous effusions. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
