Indocyanine Green Lymphography and Lymphaticovenous Anastomosis for Generalized Lymphatic Dysplasia with Pleural Effusion and Ascites in Neonates

摘要

Background: The fatality rate of generalized lymphatic dysplasia (GLD) with chylous pleural effusion and ascites is particularly high when it persists over a prolonged period. The purpose of this report was to determine the utility of indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography and lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) in GLD with chylous pleural effusion and ascites in neonates.
