“Therapeutic” Lymphangiography — A New Solution to Post-Bypass Lymphorrhea — A Case Report

A sixty-eight-year-old man developed a groin lymphocele following an aorto- femoral bypass graft. Despite four weeks of conservative therapy, lymphorrhea persisted. A lymphangiogram, performed to accurately identify the site of leak age, resulted in cessation of the lymphatic leak. To our knowledge, this is the first report of lymphangiography as a therapeutic tool in the management of lymphorrhea following vascular reconstruction.
