  • Title: [Endolymphatic pressure in the evaluation of the status of peripheral lymph flow in the extremities].
    Author: Krylov VS, Milanov NO, Abalmasov KG, Sadovnikov VI, Pozharnov AS.
    Journal: Khirurgiia (Mosk); 1991 Jun; (6):63-9. PubMed ID: 1770741.
    Abstract:
    The functional capacity of the lymph vessels in their various pathological conditions was determined from 78 studies of the endolymphatic pressure in patients with lymphatic edema of the extremities. Four types of pressure curves were determined according to the maintenance of the contractility of the wall of the lymph vessels. It was found that marked hypertension develops in the lymphatic channel in obstruction of lymph drainage from the extremity. Endolymphatic pressure in hyperplasia of the lymph vessels and blocking of lymph drainage exceeds venous pressure several times, which confirms the competence of operation for the formation of direct lymph-vein anastomoses.
