{"title":"Concordance between preoperative imaging methods in patients with limb lymphedema undergoing supermicrosurgical lymphaticovenular anastomosis","authors":"","doi":"10.1016/j.jvsv.2024.101891","DOIUrl":"10.1016/j.jvsv.2024.101891","url":null,"abstract":"<div><h3>Objective</h3><div>Supermicrosurgical lymphaticovenular anastomosis (LVA) is increasingly being recognized as a first-line treatment of limb lymphedema because it is minimally invasive and highly effective. Lymphoscintigraphy and indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography are the two most commonly performed diagnostic imaging examinations to establish the indication and plan the procedure for patients affected by limb lymphedema. In a small group of patients, the information between these two imaging tools can be discordant, showing different anatomical drainage pathways or the absence of drainage and dermal backflow in one examination and valid drainage pathways in the other. The purpose of this study is to examine the types of possible discrepancies between lymphoscintigraphy of the superficial system and ICG lymphography and to describe the surgical outcomes after LVA for patients presenting with such discrepancies.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>We retrospectively reviewed the data of all patients who underwent LVA for upper or lower limb lymphedema between July 2015 and July 2023. From this series, we identified a group of patients with nonconcordant imaging results from lymphoscintigraphy and ICG lymphography before lymphatic surgery. Nonconcordant findings were described in terms of “pattern discordance” and “pathway discordance.” The surgical outcome was measured by the change in the mean circumference of the limb after surgery. The changes between the preoperative and postoperative limb measures were analyzed using the Student <em>t</em> test. <em>P</em> values < .05 were considered significant.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>A total of 28 patients with limb lymphedema exhibited inconsistencies between preoperative lymphoscintigraphy of the superficial system and ICG lymphography. Among these patients, 14 experienced pattern discordance, 13 had pathway discordance, and 1 patient had both. After LVA, we observed a significant reduction in the average circumference of the affected limb in the analyzed group.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>The discrepancy in the information between lymphoscintigraphy and ICG lymphography in the preoperative study of patients affected by limb lymphedema is rare but possible. This phenomenon is still not fully explained; however, our results suggest that it does not correlate with the outcome of supermicrosurgical LVAs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17537,"journal":{"name":"Journal of vascular surgery.

However, the causal relationship between these two conditions requires further investigation. Therefore, we used a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to assess the bidirectional causal effects between four neuropsychiatric conditions and VTE, deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism (PE).</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>Genetic variants associated with four neuropsychiatric conditions (ie, schizophrenia, major depressive disorder [MDD], bipolar disorder, and epilepsy) and VTE, deep vein thrombosis, and PE were selected. Bidirectional univariable and multivariable MR methods were applied to evaluate the causal relationships among these conditions. The primary causal estimates were obtained using the inverse variance weighted method with multiplicative random effects, supplemented by MR Egger regression, weighted median, simple mode, and weighted mode. Sensitivity analysis was conducted using the MR pleiotropy residual sum, funnel plots, and outlier (MR pleiotropy and residual sum and outlier) method.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Univariable MR results showed that genetic susceptibility to MDD increases the risk of VTE and PE (VTE: odds ratio [OR], 1.25; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.08-1.46; <em>P</em> = .004; PE: OR, 1.36; 95% CI, 1.09-1.69; <em>P</em> = .006) and that PE has an adverse causal effect on MDD (OR, 1.02; 95% CI, 1.00-1.04; <em>P</em> = .026).
