Abstract  We report the use of fibrinogen/thrombin-coated equine collagen patch (Tachosil®) as a sealant agent in six patients who underwent heart surgery for congenital heart disease (CHD) and developed an intraoperative lymphatic leakage detected at the time of surgery. The use of fibrinogen/thrombin-coated equine collagen patch proved to be safe and effective in preventing the development of postoperative chylothorax. (J Card Surg 2012;**:1-2).
