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 ...

Using the Indocyanine Green (ICG) Lymphography to Screen Breast Cancer Patients at High Risk for Lymphedema

Diagnostics, 2022
Background: Indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography is a newer technique for diagnosing lymphedema. Our study aimed to find whether the abnormality of ICG lymphography can predict the occurrence of early lymphedema and then select candidates at high risk of

Conservative treatment of lymphedema: the state of the art

Jornal Vascular Brasileiro, 2021
This article aims to discuss the possibilities of conservative and non-pharmacological treatments for lymphedema. A non-systematic review of the literature was carried out, including studies involving human subjects with different types of lymphedema ...

Cost evaluation of the Merlin assay for predicting melanoma sentinel lymph node biopsy metastasis

International Journal of Dermatology, Volume 62, Issue 1, Page 56-61, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Background The Merlin assay for melanoma‐risk assessment has become commercially available to reduce the rate of unnecessary sentinel lymph node biopsies (SLNB) in SLNB‐eligible patients with cutaneous melanoma. Merlin low‐risk patients are recommended to undergo wide local excision (WLE) of the primary tumor, whereas Merlin high‐risk patients

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.

Risk factors for lymph ascites after surgery for endometrial cancer and impact on lymphedema of the legs. A prospective longitudinal Swedish multicenter study. [PDF]

Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand
Lymph ascites was present in one third of women 4–6 weeks after surgery for endometrial cancer, although mostly in low volume. Minimally invasive surgery appeared to be a risk‐reducing factor of lymph ascites. Presence of lymph ascites 4–6 weeks after surgery seemed to predict lymphedema within 1 year.
