Definition
The left bronchomediastinal lymphatic trunk is a component of the lymphatic system that drains lymph from the left side of the thorax, including the left lung, mediastinum, and parts of the heart. It typically drains into the thoracic duct, or sometimes directly into the venous angle, where the internal jugular and subclavian veins meet.
