Double-Blind Placebo Then Open-Label Sildenafil
Placebo (resembling Revatio) for 20 weeks. Participants randomized to placebo had the option to enter a 20-week open-label phase to receive active sildenafil (Revatio) for 20 weeks three times daily (weight-based: 10 mg TID for participants weighing 8-20 kg; 20 mg TID for participants weighing \>20 kg), followed by a 12 week follow-up period.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, week 20

Population: Participants with data at both baseline and week 20 are included in the analysis

Subject's evaluation of the overall change in lymphatic malformation. Participants will be followed from baseline to 20 weeks. Patients rated change as no improvement, minimal improvement (1-25% change), fair improvement (25-50% change), good improvement (50-75% change), and excellent improvement (75-100% change).
