LVA has shown favorable outcomes such as limb-volume reduction, fewer cellulitis episodes, and improved symptoms, especially in early-stage disease. LVA creates bypasses between lymphatic vessels and small veins so lymph can drain into venous circulation. LVA is not curative, and its long-term success depends on patency, lymph-flow redistribution, and postoperative management.
