STRUCTURE OF LYMPHATICS IN THE AORTA AND THE PERIAORTIC TISSUES, AND VASCULAR LESIONS CAUSED BY DISTURBANCE OF THE LYMPHATICS

Y Nakata, S Shionoya

Abstract


In the cases of obstruction of the lymphatics alone,
vascular lesions were slighter compared with those
of obstruction of the arterial vasa vasorum (5).
However, in the cases of severe disturbance of flow
from the vascular wall with marked increase of the
connective tissues, vascular lesions such as wide intimal
thickening progressed. So, disturbance of lymphatics
in the aorta and the periaortic tissue seemed
to give an influence on the microcirculation in the
vascular wall and vascular lesions.
