Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema during intrabiliary infusion of mono-octanoin.
Mono-octanoin (glycerol-1-mono-octanoate) is a medium-chain diglyceride used to dissolve gallstones. We describe a patient in whom noncardiogenic pulmonary edema developed during intrabiliary infusion of monooctanoin. The temporal sequence suggests that the drug infusion initiated the lung injury.
