Persistent lymphatic fistula. Unusual complication of femoro-femoral arterial bypass.
An unusual complication of persistent lymph fistula occurred three months postoperatively following axillo-femoral and femoro-femoral bypass graft. The lymphangiograms demonstrated the precise site of lymph extravasation. Multiple aspirations and local drainage were of no avail and it finally responded to prolonged continuous local pressure over the area of lymph extravasation.
