Abstract

Lymphatic leakage is an uncommon but serious complication following vascular procedures. When conservative measures fail, accurate identification and ligation of disrupted lymphatic channels is necessary to avoid recurrence. We report the case of a 52-year-old male with a left forearm lymphocele, which occurred following repair of an interosseous artery pseudoaneurysm. Successful lymphatic identification and ligation was performed using intradermal injection of Isosulphan blue dye at the time of operation.
