    Abstract:
    The condition of the lymph vessels, the lymph flow, and the toxicity of peripheral lymph were studied in 46 patients with obliterating diseases of the arteries of the lower limbs. The results of the study showed the severity of the destructive changes in the peripheral lymphatic system to be directly dependent on the severity of the arterial ischemia of the limb. Block of the lymphatic system, deceleration of the lymph flow, and changes in the lymph vessels themselves lead to deterioration of the tissue drainage function and intensification of regional endotoxicosis. In view of which correction of the peripheral lymphatic system should be included in the complex of measures for the treatment of patients with obliterating diseases of the lower limb arteries.
