Lymphatic Interventions from Neck to Groin

Monday, March 31, 2025
1:15 PM – 2:30 PM CT
Location: Music City Center, 204
CE: 1.25

Content Level: 200 (intermediate)

This comprehensive session delves into the innovative field of lymphatic imaging and interventions, providing attendees with a detailed exploration of advanced techniques and clinical applications spanning from the neck to the groin. The session will focus on the latest developments in diagnostic lymphatic imaging modalities, including MR lymphangiography, dynamic lymphoscintigraphy, and ultrasound-guided imaging, to enhance visualization of lymphatic anatomy and pathology.

In addition, the session will cover interventional techniques such as thoracic duct embolization, lymphatic ductoplasty, lymphatic leak embolization, and advanced lymphatic bypass surgeries. Participants will gain insights into managing complex conditions such as lymphatic leaks, chylothorax, protein-losing enteropathy, and lower extremity lymphedema. Real-world case studies will demonstrate how these interventions can transform patient outcomes, particularly in challenging anatomical regions

Learning Objectives:

  • Case based review of lymphatic anatomy and physiology from neck to groin.
  • Discuss lymphatic interventional techniques and approaches to dealing with lymphatic leaks and lymphatic pathophysiology from neck to groin.
  • Understand how to start a lymphatic practice and the future of lymphatic IR.
