چکیده
Suday, O cber 8, 2017 INTRODUCTION: The vascularized lymph node transfer (VLNT) is one of the flap of choices for lower extremity lymphedema. Although physical rehabilitation is important for lymphedema treatment, there is no standardized procedure for different stage lymphedema. This study was conducted to investigate the long term outcome using VLNT and complete decongestive therapy (CDT) in lymphedema.

Background: Chylothorax is one of the complications after thoracic surgery and treated by conservative or surgical means. Lipiodol lymphangiography is one of the options and it causes obliteration of chylous leak by inflammatory manner. In this article, we describe a case of lymphedema of the bilateral lower extremities occurs after lipiodol lymphangiography and it is treated successfully by ly...
