Lymphatic Embolization

Lymphatic embolization is recommended when abnormal lymphatic flow patterns develop or exist and create “leaks” or accumulation of fluid. Lymphatic embolization is a two-part procedure. 

Blood flows through the body through blood vessels. There are also vessels that carry a fluid called lymph, which may look clear or yellow. Lymph vessels carry lymph fluid to veins, where it returns to the bloodstream.
