| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have elucidated the efficacy of lymphatico venous anastomosis (LVA) for idiopathic lymphedema. LVA was more effective when the age of onset of idiopathic lymphedema was old. The efficacy of LVA also had a relathionship with the findings of indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography. We performed ICG lymphography to idiopathic chylothorax and chyloabdomen. The prognosis got worse as the findings of ICG lymphography got severe.
