Time‐Dependent Efficacy of Lymphaticovenous Anastomosis in Secondary Lymphedema: A Rabbit Model Study [PDF]
FASEB JSecondary lymphedema was induced in New Zealand White rabbits by popliteal lymph node excision and afferent lymphatic vessel ligation, causing sustained hind limb swelling. LVA was performed immediately or after 4, 8, or 12 weeks. Patency was verified intraoperatively by microsuturing and postoperatively by indocyanine green (ICG) lymphangiography ...
