Contrast-enhanced Ultrasound for Assessing Pre-operative Lymphatic Vessel Function and Post-operative Anastomotic Patency in Lymphatic-venous Anastomosis: A Retrospective Observational Study
The cases in this study underscore the utility of CEUS in both preoperative assessment and localization of LVA and postoperative evaluation of anastomotic patency. This could represent a new technique that might supersede traditional methods such as Indocyanine Green (ICG) and become a routine assessment tool after LVA.
