Researchers at Kyushu University Hospital in Fukuoka, Japan have reported new findings on Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome (KTS), a condition characterized by port-wine stains, vascular malformations, and tissue and bone hypertrophy. The researchers successfully treated a 66-year-old woman with KTS who was experiencing chyluria and hematuria, complications for which there is currently no effective treatment. They performed multiple lymphaticovenular anastomoses (LVAs) to reduce lymphatic fluid flow through a lymphatic-ureteral fistula, resulting in the resolution of chyluria and hematuria. The research concludes that multiple LVAs can definitively treat chyluria caused by a lymphatic-ureteral fistula in patients with KTS. [Extracted from the article] |
