Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance lymphangiography is a high-resolution imaging technique that has emerged as the preferred method for evaluating lymphatic anatomy and flow dynamics due to its precise anatomical detail. The lymphatic system has a complex anatomical distribution, and variability is common among individuals with cardiac abnormalities, particularly congenital heart disease. Lymphatic imaging has recently been revolutionized by the introduction of MR lymphangiography.

Introduction: Lymphatic abnormalities have been documented on magnetic resonance lymphangiography in patients with functionally univentricular circulation.
Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate associations between findings on magnetic resonance lymphangiography, cardiac catheterisation and functional phenotype in patients with Fontan-Kreutzer circulation.
Materials And Methods: Between January 2017 and October 2019, seven patients with Fontan-Kreutzer circulation (16.

After the introduction of conventional oil contrast lymphography and the founding of the discipline of lymphology, great impetus was given to investigating central lymphatic system and its disorders along with lymphatic involvement and specifically lymphostasis in common diseases of major organs such as the liver (cirrhosis) and heart (heart failure). Gradually interest shifted to more peripheral disorders such as limb lymphedema and its treatment by physical and surgical measures. At the same time, basic lymphology turned to the study of isolate-ed ex vivo and in vitro, including lymphatic endothelial models and more recently, molecular lymphology focusing on lymphatic growth and modulating factors, genes and proteins under-lying primary lymphedema, and more potential biomarkers of lymphatic disease have gained prominence.

Lymphedema is a chronic and debilitating condition. This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) and vascularized lymph node transfers (VLNT) for the treatment of patients suffering from lymphedema, mainly by comparing pre- and postoperative daily compression use, limb volumes, and occurrence of cellulitis. We performed a retrospective analysis of patients who were treated by a single surgeon for lymphedema with LVA and/or VLNT between March 2018 and February 2020.

Evaluation of lymph circulation is significant in lower extremity lymphedema (LEL) management. Single-photon emission computed tomography-computed tomography (SPECT-CT) has been introduced for lymphedema evaluation, but its characteristic findings are yet fully clarified. The purpose of this study was to reveal typical SPECT-CT findings in secondary LEL by contrasting with indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography findings.
