Lymphatic flow dynamics under exercise load assessed with thoracic duct ultrasonography

Abstract The thoracic duct (TD) is the largest lymphatic vessel proximal to the venous system. It undergoes morphological changes in response to lymph flow from the periphery, with automatic contraction controlling the dynamics to propel lymph toward the venous system. Recent advancements in ultraso...
