Preoperative Assessment of Lymphatic-Venous Anastomosis Using Indocyanine Green Angiography Combined with Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound with Perflubutane
Preoperative Indocyanine Green (ICG) angiography is often used to confirm lymphatic vascular circulation; however, in advanced edema, ICG may be unable to confirm circulation. We use contrast-enhanced ultrasound to confirm the course of lymphatic vessels before lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA).
