From well-established techniques for treating lymphatic leaks to recently-described procedures which aim to correct abnormalities in the lymphovenous junction of the terminal thoracic duct, this session will cover the basics and advanced knowledge in modern-day lymphatic intervention. Panel discussions will be held where the audience can actively engage with the speakers to discuss the current state and future of lymphatic intervention.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion of this objective, the participants will be able to describe the TD venous junction anatomy and physiology
Upon completion of this objective, the participants would know the technique of the TD-venous junction baloon plasty
Upon completion of this objective, the participants can describe the indications for TD-venous junction baloon plasty
