Lymph fistula and granuloma: All catheter-based procedures for the treatment of varicose veins can result in injuries to the lymphatic system when the vessel is punctured and the catheter is inserted. This leads to the development of a lymph fistula in approx. 2-4% of the therapeutic cases.Lymphatic water is pressed through a small opening in the wound to the surface of the skin.
