Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- Abnormal lymph flow may stem from congenital lymphatic anomalies, including absence of lymphatic structures, and from acquired obstruction or increased flow from clinical entities or acute therapy
- Macro- and microsurgical and interventional radiological techniques may address excess, inadequate or obstructed lymph flow
- Patients with deranged lymph flow often require critical care, and critical care patients may concomitantly show deranged lymph flow that adversely impacts care
