Ashoff-Goods Node

Ashoffa - Tavara knot

Aschoff-Tawara is a node that forms as a result of the formation of a blood clot in a vein or artery. This node consists of platelet mass, fibrin and leukocytes.

The node was first described in 1908 by the German pathologist L. Aschoff and the Japanese pathologist S. Tawara. They discovered a node in the artery of a patient with atherosclerosis.

The formation of Aschoff-Tavara node is associated with various diseases, such as venous thrombosis, arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus and others. The node can lead to the development of thromboembolism and other complications.

To treat Aschoff-Tavara nodes, anticoagulant therapy is used, which helps prevent the formation of new blood clots and dissolve existing ones. Surgical methods to remove the node may also be used.

Thus, the Aschoff-Tavara node is an important element in the pathogenesis of thrombosis and requires timely treatment.



Ashoff Tavar knot is a surgical technique to stop bleeding from peripheral arteries. It is named after the German anatomists Ludwig Aschoff and Wilhelm Tavaru. The Aschoff Tawar knot is a special coil of synthetic absorbable thread applied to the femoral, popliteal or foot artery when they are injured. The thread rises in the proximal direction along the parallel course of the artery to the preparation and is tied with an 8-shaped loop, forming a kind of makrak knot. This design of the unit creates a reliable tourniquet that closes the lumen of the vessel. In addition, the Macrag node creates a mechanical obstacle to the passage of bacteria into the lower limb through the wound and increases blood flow in the distal arterial and venous segments of the limb.

The Aschoff-Tavaro knot is a surgical method to stop bleeding from peripheral vessels. This method is named after the German surgeons Wilhelm Aschof and Stefan Tavaro, who were the first to
