A rare truncal collateral lymph drainage pathway seen on indocyanine green lymphography in patients with secondary lower limb lymphedema

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2023
Objective: Although collateral lymphatic vessels are known to develop in patients with lymphedema, little is known about their significance. In this study, we investigated truncal collateral lymphatic drainage pathways in patients with lower limb ...

Supermicrosurgical lymphatic venous anastomosis for intractable lymphocele after great saphenous vein harvesting graft

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2022
Lymphoceles result from either trauma to the lymphatic vessels or after vein graft harvest, which occurs in 10% to 16% of patients. When a lymphocele persists despite conservative treatment, patients can experience undue distress.

Lymphedema Severity and Quality of Life as a Function of Selective Neck Dissection Technique. [PDF]

Laryngoscope Investig Otolaryngol
This study investigated head and neck lymphedema after selective neck dissection. It was found that the resection of the external jugular and facial vein during selective neck dissection was associated with a statistically significant increased risk of more severe external lymphedema compared to when these vessels are preserved.

Critical role of keratinocytes and protease-activated receptor 2 in secondary lymphedema development. [PDF]

Clin Transl Med
Activated keratinocytes play an important role in the early stage of the pathophysiology of secondary lymphedema through PAR2 signaling. Lymphatic injury‐induced protease activation stimulates keratinocyte PAR2 signaling, driving hyperkeratosis and Th2 inflammation, which can be therapeutically attenuated by teriflunomide. Abstract Background Secondary
