T V Savchenko, and I K Zavarina

The authors report that the operation of end-to-side lympho-venous anastomosis was developed in experiment by submersion. In clinical conditions the operation was performed on 22 patients with chronic postthrombic venous insufficiency of lower extremities. The best results were obtained in patients with secondary lymphostasis and in edematic form of postthrombic venous insufficiency. In diseases of the veins operations were performed as a preliminary step of the surgical correction of the venous outflow. Remote results were observed during one year.
