Inguinal lymph node identification using ultrasound is critical in performing intranodal lymphangiography. We routinely utilize a 15 MHz “hockey stick” linear high resolution ultrasound probe (Philips Epic 7) for identification as well as to gain needle access into the inguinal lymph node. However in children with severe body wall edema and in low weight premature babied identification of lymph nodes can be difficult and sometimes impossible. Higher frequency ultrasound transducers offer the potential for improved identification of lymph nodes in such cases. The aim of this study was to compare imaging finding of high resolution US probe to the traditional 15 mHz probe in patients undergoing lymph node access for lymphangiography. Read More

Percutaneous lymphatic interventions (PLI) target the pulmonary lymphatic abnormalities seen in patients with plastic bronchitis (PB). Existing data in patients with congenital heart disease(CHD)indicates poor transplant-free survival after the diagnosis of PB. We describe various techniques of PLI and characterize intermediate-term survival and complications after PLI. Read More

To report on our initial experience with the use of mesenteric dynamic contrast MR lymphangiography (DCMRL) for evaluation of the lymphatics in patients with concern for mesenteric lymphatic flow disorders and compare these findings to intranodal (IN) DCMRL and intrahepatic (IH) DCMRL. Read More
