Nucleoside-modified VEGFC mRNA induces organ-specific lymphatic growth and reverses experimental lymphedema

Nature Communications, 2021
Lack or dysfunction of the lymphatics leads to secondary lymphedema formation that seriously reduces the function of the affected organs and results in degradation of quality of life.

Upgradation of Lymph Supermicrosurgical Skills through Lymphatic Venous Anastomosis

Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2022
Supermicrosurgery, a technique involving the dissection and anastomosis of small vessels, has revolutionized the field of lymphedema treatment. However, in a lymphatic venous anastomosis, an arduous technique is required to manipulate the 0.1-0.8-mm ...

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.

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
