Abstract
Lymphatic imaging and interventions are gaining wider acceptance as the treatment
of various lymphatic diseases. Meanwhile, the liver lymphatic system remains relatively
unknown despite its physiological importance. Liver lymph has been at the center of
the lymphatic research since the 19th century; however, the acquired knowledge has
not been used in clinical research and treatment due to the lack of robust imaging
methods. Recently introduced liver lymphangiography and interstitial embolization
allow for the diagnosis and treatment of several diseases associated with the lymphatic
system of the congested liver, providing additional treatment options for conditions
that were considered incurable until now.
