4 Fig 3 Volume reduction of lymphedematous arm. Group A (left) showed a significant volume decrease after two and 24 hours; group B (right) only after 24 hours. Differences compared with baseline: ***P < .001, **P < .01. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.jvs ) Copyright © 2009 Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

5 Fig 4 Edema reduction in the treated arm. Group A (left) shows a significant decrease after two and 24 hours; group B (right) only after 24 hours. Differences compared with baseline: ***P < .001, *P < .05. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.jvs ) Copyright © 2009 Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

6 Fig 5 There is no correlation between change in arm volume and sub-bandage pressure in the first two hours, and a poor correlation between two and 24 hours. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.jvs ) Copyright © 2009 Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions
