New understanding of the lymphatic system as well as increasing recognition of its importance in various pathologies have increased the opportunity to perform lymphatic interventions. Advancement in our understanding of the lymphatic system anatomy, including variations, combined with improved imaging has renewed interest in both surgical and interventional management of a wide range of complex lymphatic pathologies. It is important for the proceduralist to recognize the anatomy, variability, and physiology of the lymphatic system, including lower extremity lymphatic drainage, cisterna chyli location, and thoracic duct drainage. The purpose of this study is to convey the practical aspects of performing lymphatic interventions in an effort to improve the speed and reliability of these procedures.
对淋巴系统的新认识以及对其在各种病理状况下重要性的日益认可，增加了进行淋巴干预的机会。我们对淋巴系统解剖结构的理解取得进展，包括其变异情况，同时成像技术的改进，重新激发了人们对广泛复杂淋巴疾病的手术和介入治疗的兴趣。对于操作医生而言，认识淋巴系统的解剖结构、变异性和生理学，包括下肢淋巴引流、乳糜池位置和胸导管引流，非常重要。本研究的目的是阐述进行淋巴干预的实际操作要点，以提高这些操作的速度和可靠性。
