Lymphovenous shunt

A lymphovenous shunt is an anastomosis that occurs between the lymphatic and venous vessels when there is a persistent violation of lymphatic drainage in the body. This can happen, for example, if there is a tumor or other obstruction that obstructs the drainage of lymph.

Lymphovenous shunts can be either temporary or permanent. Temporary shunts occur when a tumor or other obstruction is removed and lymph flow is restored. Permanent shunts form when tumor cells grow into a vein or lymphatic vessel and form anastomoses between them.

When lymphovenous shunts occur, they can lead to various complications such as edema, lymphedema, as well as more serious diseases such as lymphatic failure and lymphedema. However, if a lymphovenous shunt is detected at an early stage and treatment is carried out in a timely manner, then the development of complications can be avoided.

Treatment for lymphovenous shunts includes removal of the tumor or other obstructions that cause lymphatic drainage obstruction, as well as the use of special treatment methods such as lymphatic drainage massage, electrical stimulation, and others.

Overall, lymphovenous shunts are a serious medical problem that can lead to serious complications. Therefore, it is important to identify them promptly and provide appropriate treatment.

A lymphatic shunt is a pathological anastomosis that forms between the venous and lymphatic beds. Because of this, the blood interferes with the passage of lymph flow, and the natural outflow of fluid from the body is disrupted. With this disease, there is a persistent difficulty in the circulation of lymph through the lymphatic vessels. Shunting is observed in patients of various age groups. The disease develops slowly and requires an integrated approach to diagnosis and treatment. Often, a person suffering from pathology learns about a shunt only after a diagnostic examination of the abdominal organs. If the disease is not detected in time and treatment is not started, there is a risk of serious complications in the form of infection, inflammation
