Using the venous angle as a pressure reservoir to retrogradely fill the subclavian lymphatic trunk with contrast agent for lymphatic mapping

Background null Visualizing the lymphatic system and recording the spatial relations between the subclavian lymphatic trunk (SLT) and the surrounding anatomical structures will improve radiotherapy treatment planning for breast cancer patients with lymphatic involvement. An experimental approach to retrogradely fill the SLT with contrast agent was explored. null null null Methods null Six Thiel embalmed specimens were bilaterally dissected in...
