Abstract

Objective To explore the anatomical basis based on ultrasound angiography (CEUS) for limb lymphatic vessel venous anastomosis (LVA). Methods Twenty-five patients with secondary lymphatic vessel edema were prospectively included, 84 surgical sites before and after LVA operation, and the influence of different lymphatic vessel classification on surgical efficacy was compared. Results There was some differences in anastomotic patency after LVA. Conclusion The lymphocyte classification and auxiliary positioning technique based on CEUS can significantly improve the accuracy and therapeutic effect of LVA surgery.
