Lymphatic interventions
Lymphatic disorders and their treatment have recently become increasingly significant in various clinical scenarios, as on top of the considerable number of postoperative lymphatic fistulas, there are several spontaneous lymphatic diseases that are still poorly understood, such as protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) and plastic bronchitis.
Today, with the help of selective imaging of the lymphatic system, different sources of lymphatic illnesses can be reliably identified. Methods such as MR/CT/RX lymphangiography are invaluable tools for the diagnosis and treatment of such diseases.
This webinar will delve into the abovementioned techniques, in addition to offering important insights into dedicated image-guided percutaneous procedures that provide access to lymphatic system for imaging and intervention, rendering it a perfect tool to gain a comprehensive overview of the numerous specific methods that interventional radiologists can employ for the best therapeutical outcomes.
Learning objectives:
- To learn and understand different imaging tools for diagnosing lymphatic disorders, in particular lymphatic leaks.
- To learn how to treat lymphatic disorders by interventional techniques.
