Pediheart Podcast # 69: Lymphatic Abnormalities in Noonan's Syndrome




Pediheart: Pediatric Cardiology Today show

Summary: This week we speak with Professor Yoav Dori of Children's Hospital of Philadelphia about a recent paper he co-authored on the topic of lymphatic abnormalities in children with Noonan's syndrome. What are the typical findings in severely affected children and who is a candidate for intervention? Are there patients who are good candidates for 'thoracic duct ligation' or pleurodesis? Is there anyone in whom this would be considered appropriate therapy? We discuss these questions and more with the master of the lymphatic system, Dr. Dori. doi: 10.1007/s00247-018-04337-6.
