  • Title: [Topography of the borderline structures of the anterior portion of the inferior mediastinum and their vascularization].
    Author: Nesterov AN.
    Journal: Arkh Anat Gistol Embriol; 1988 May; 94(5):34-42. PubMed ID: 3415492.
    Abstract:
    By means of silver nitrate impregnation after V. V. Kupriianov of blood vessels it has been revealed that the blood microcirculatory bed of the borderline structures in the anterior part of the inferior mediastinum, united by their topographical proximity and common sources of blood supply, are characterized by a high concentration of microvessels, arterioles, precapillaries, capillaries, postcapillaries and venules. In each structure investigated peculiar features of the blood microcirculatory bed organization are defined. Richness in vessels and their borderline position ensure potency of transudation and resorption of liquids from the inferior mediastinum in the cases, when the mediastinal part studied becomes the reservoir for pathological exudates (at traumas, at mediastinitis).
