BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Lymphaticovenular anastomosis (LVA) is a surgical technique used to alleviate lymphedema by bypassing the lymphatic and venous vessels and facilitating lymphatic fluid drainage. Accurate evaluation of anastomotic patency is crucial for assessing LVA outcomes. Traditional near-infrared fluorescence lymphography has limitations, including fluorescence diffusion in subcutaneous fat and difficulty evaluating areas beneath the dermal backflow. Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is a potential alternative for high-resolution visualization of lymphatic and blood vessels. We aimed to evaluate the utility of PAI for assessing LVA patency.
METHODS: Using the LUB0 PAI system, we examined patients who underwent LVA. Imaging was conducted using subcutaneously injected indocyanine green (ICG) to visualize lymphatic vessels.
RESULTS: Results showed clear patency in some cases, inability to evaluate it in others, and confirmed occlusion in certain instances.
CONCLUSIONS: While PAI provides valuable insights, challenges remain, including the potential for ambiguous results from the intermittent nature of lymphatic flow and difficulty visualizing low-ICG-concentration lymphatic vessels. Nonetheless, PAI offers a promising method for detailed 3D evaluation of anastomoses. It may improve surgical outcomes and contribute to future evidence in the field. Further advancements, including real-time video assessment, may enhance the accuracy and reliability of LVA patency evaluation.
