Lymphatic Leak Occurring After Surgical Lymph Node Dissection: A Preliminary Study Assessing the Feasibility and Outcome of Lymphatic Embolization.

Purpose: To analyze imaging findings of lymphatic leakage associated with surgical lymph node dissection on lymphangiography and assess the outcome of lymphatic embolization.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study comprised 21 consecutive patients who were referred for lymphatic intervention between March 2014 and April 2015 due to postsurgical lymphatic leaks. Lymphangiography was performed through inguinal lymph nodes to identify the leak.

Relationship between indexed epicardial fat volume and coronary plaque volume assessed by cardiac multidetector CT.

We explored whether baseline indexed epicardial fat volume (EFVi) and serial changes in EFVi were associated with increase in coronary plaque volume as assessed by multidetector computed tomography.We retrospectively reviewed 87 patients with coronary artery plaque, identified during either baseline or follow-up cardiac computed tomography (CT) examinations. Each plaque volume was measured in volumetric units using a semiautomatic software tool.

Lymphatic Embolization for the Treatment of Pelvic Lymphoceles: Preliminary Experience in Five Patients.

Purpose: To retrospectively assess the outcome of lymphatic embolization in the treatment of pelvic lymphoceles.

Materials And Methods: From July 2014 to December 2015, a retrospective analysis was performed in 5 consecutive female patients (mean age, 54.6 y; range, 45-65 y) who underwent lymphangiography for the management of symptomatic pelvic lymphoceles that developed after gynecologic surgery.
