Preoperative Indocyanine Green Lymphography and High-Frequency Ultrasound as Predictors of Lymphaticovenous Anastomosis Outcome in Post-Mastectomy Upper Limb Lymphedema
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
lymphatic-venous anastamosis: Supermicrosurgical lymphaticovenous anastomosis performed for treatment of post-mastectomy upper limb lymphedema following preoperative imaging assessment.
Study summary
This study aims to evaluate the predictive value of preoperative indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography and high-frequency ultrasound in determining the outcomes of lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) in patients with post-mastectomy upper limb lymphedema. Patients undergoing LVA surgery will undergo preoperative assessment using ICG lymphography and ultrasound mapping of lymphatic vessels and recipient veins. Surgical outcomes will be assessed clinically and functionally through limb circumference measurements, symptom improvement, and postoperative imaging findings. The study seeks to identify imaging predictors associated with successful LVA outcomes and improved postoperative recovery.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- reduction in upper limb circumference after lymphatic venous anastomosis — 6 months postoperative
Assessment of postoperative improvement in upper limb lymphedema by comparing preoperative and postoperative limb circumference measurements following lymphaticovenous anastomosis surgery.
