Adipose veno-lymphatic transfer for management of post-radiation lymphedema

Journal Article · · J. Reconstr. Microsurg.; (United States)

In a patient who had post-radiation lymphedema after excision of liposarcoma, a method is described that is called adipose veno-lymphatic transfer. The technique involves transferring adipose tissue containing lymphatic vessels that surround the long saphenous vein, from the normal, healthy leg to the irradiated leg, with the creation of an arteriovenous fistula.
