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
