BACKGROUND: To study the impact of aggressive decongestion in limbs with lymphedema without subcutaneous echo-free space (SEFS) in subcutaneous tissue ultrasonography.
METHODS: In 13 patients with arm lymphedema (ALE) (13 arms) and 16 patients with leg lymphedema (LLE) (18 legs) without SEFS, an aggressive decongestion was performed as the first phase of complex decongestive therapy. Measurements of circumference and calculation of limb volume were performed before and after the treatment.
RESULTS: In ALE, no significant reduction in arm volume (median -63 [range -251 to 176] mL) or edema ratio (-4 [-15 to 12]%) was confirmed. On the other hand, a small but significant reduction in leg volume (-207 [-834 to 131] mL, P < 0.001) and edema ratio (-4 [-14 to 2]%, P < 0.01) was confirmed in LLE.
CONCLUSION: In limbs with lymphedema without SEFS, the impact of aggressive decongestion seemed limited.
