However, preservation of lymphovenous circulation is particularly important for a subset of patients, including individuals with liver cirrhosis, ascites, nephrotic syndrome, sclerosing mesenteritis, or some cardiac conditions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We have developed a new technique of restoring lymphovenous circulation for patients undergoing esophagectomy. Intrathoracic lymphovenous anastomosis was performed for an esophageal cancer patient by intravenous catheter assisted end\u2010to\u2010side \u201cinsertion\u201d technique.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The time taken for lymphovenous anastomosis was 35\u00a0min. No massive bleeding or other adverse events occurred during operation, and the patient had an uneventful postoperative course. Lipid metabolisms, assessed by pre\u2010 and postoperative plasma concentrations of cholesterol, triglycerides, high\u2010density and low\u2010density lipoprotein, were not affected after lymphovenous anastomosis. Lymphangiography also indicated lymphovenous anastomosis remained patent 3 years after operation.
