A retrospective case-control study was carried out to assess the importance of lymphatic fistulas that develop after vascular reconstruction and to determine the risk factors associated with them. The authors compared 35 patients who had lymphatic fistula after vascular reconstruction with 70 control patients, taken from the same database. They found a significant difference between the two groups only in age and indication for surgery: lymphatic fistulas were more likely to develop in older patients and in patients who underwent aortobifemoral bypass for limb salvage rather than for claudication (p less than 0.05).
开展了一项回顾性病例对照研究，以评估血管重建术后发生淋巴瘘的重要性，并确定与之相关的危险因素。作者将35例血管重建术后发生淋巴瘘的患者与取自同一数据库的70例对照患者进行了比较。他们发现两组之间仅在年龄和手术指征方面存在显著差异：淋巴瘘更有可能在老年患者以及接受主-双股动脉旁路移植术以挽救肢体而非治疗间歇性跛行的患者中发生（p小于0.05）。
