An anastomosis is an anatomical structure that provides communication between two anatomical structures such as blood vessels, bile ducts, ureters, etc. This compound can be used to transport blood or other fluids between organs.
The anastomosis has many important functions in the body and their violations can lead to various pathological processes. The most common cause of impairment is injury or surgery. Anastomuses are often found in the cardiovascular system and provide communication between different parts of the bloodstream, ensuring continuity of the blood circulation process.
