Vessel Anastomotic

Vessel Anastomotic: Connection providing multiple pathways

Vessels play an important role in the body, carrying blood and essential nutrients to organs and tissues. Inside our body there is a complex network of blood vessels that ensures efficient blood circulation. One of the important elements of this network is the anastomotic vessel.

An anastomotic vessel, also known as an anastomotic vessel, is a connecting link between two vessels or branches of one vessel. It provides an alternative route for blood, allowing it to bypass obstructions such as a blocked vessel or bottleneck and continue on its way to organs and tissues.

Anastomotic vessels can be located in different parts of the body and have different shapes and sizes. They provide backup circulatory pathways, which is especially important in cases where the main pathway becomes inaccessible or impassable. For example, if a vessel becomes diseased or obstructed, the anastomotic vessel may be activated to provide an alternative blood route to a specific organ or tissue.

A feature of anastomotic type vessels is their ability to adapt and grow. When the main vessel becomes diseased or occluded, the anastomotic vessel can dilate and increase its capacity to compensate for the loss of blood flow. This process, known as angiogenesis, allows tissues to continue to receive an adequate blood supply despite possible obstructions.

Anastomotic vessels play an important role in medicine. In surgery, they can be used to create anastomoses or connections between vessels, allowing normal circulation to be restored to damaged or operated areas. This is especially useful in reconstruction after cardiac surgery or organ transplantation.

In conclusion, the anastomotic vessel is an important component of the human vascular system. It provides alternative circulatory pathways and is able to adapt to compensate for the loss of blood flow. Understanding the role and functions of the anastomotic vessel is of great importance in medicine and helps to improve the results of surgical interventions and treatment of various diseases associated with blood vessels.



An anastomotic vessel is a vessel that connects or anastomoses two other circulatory systems (one or more systems) at various levels. There are arterial and venous anastomas, similar in meaning, but different in their development. Arterial anastomas are much more often found on the extremities, where there is no superficial vein. The formation of anastomies between one system of intracranial vessels and the vein of the neck is observed very rarely.

The vessels after anastomosis are called anastomotic vessels. The presence of anastomotic vessels can be either diagnostic (pathognomonic) or concomitant
