DOI: 10.31744/einstein_journal/2024RC1220

Medical literature describes it as an adult disease in the pre-antibiotic era, and nowadays, is a rare complication.

Transafferent nodal embolization for lymphocele treatment: case report
DOI: 10.31744/einstein_journal/2022RC6889
ABSTRACT Lymphoceles are collections of lymphatic fluid, mainly caused by major surgical approaches. Most lymphoceles are asymptomatic and limited, but some cases may require a medical management. Among the different techniques, transafferent nodal embolization has emerged as a minimally invasive option, with low morbidity and high resolubility, although it is not widespread in the Brazilian scenario. In this study, we report a case of lymphocele drained percutaneously, with maintenance of high output and requiring transafferent nodal embolization.
