Looking Backward and Looking Forward: Revisiting "clinical Usefulness of Thoracic Duct Cannulation"
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Over the past decade, there has been a resurgence of interest in the thoracic duct and central lymphatic system and its disorders, stimulated by advances in interventional magnetic resonance imaging techniques and urgent challenges in the clinical management of lymphatic malformations and lymphatic complications from congenital heart disease. The following chapter reprinted here written shortly after the formal founding of the discipline of lymphology and the International Society of Lymphology, describes early efforts, and also suggests future directions now being revisited and others yet to be explored (1).
