Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A device and method for draining excess lymph fluid is disclosed. The device can be fixed to the blood vessel adjacent to the thoracic duct. The device can have a port for withdrawing lymph fluid exiting the thoracic duct. The device can have a cannula and/or subcutaneous port to draw the lymph fluid away from the thoracic duct and reduce hemostatic pressure in the lymphatic system. L'invention porte sur un dispositif et un procédé de drainage d'un excès de liquide lymphatique. Le dispositif peut être fixé au vaisseau sanguin adjacent au conduit thoracique. Le dispositif peut comporter un orifice destiné à retirer le liquide lymphatique sortant du conduit thoracique. Le dispositif peut comporter une canule et/ou un orifice sous-cutané destinés à aspirer le liquide lymphatique loin du conduit thoracique et à réduire la pression hémostatique dans le système lymphatique.
