Vascularized lymph node transfer using axilla as recipient site restores lymphatic flow in upper limb lymphedema: Evidence from magnetic resonance lymphangiography
Background: Lymphedema is a debilitating condition that frequently occurs after breast cancer treatment. Vascularized lymph node transfer (VLNT) is a promising approach to reduce lymphedema. This study used magnetic resonance lymphangiography (MRL) to assess lymphatic reconnections post-VLNT in pati...
