Abstract

Lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) is one of the surgical treatments of lymphedema. However, only a few reports have evaluated LVA directly. This study aimed to evaluate the patency of LVA using indocyanine green fluorescence lymphography and to determine the optimal anastomosis site in patients with lower extremity lymphedema.
