Tóm tắt

Lymph drainage is intimately linked with venous drainage in health and disease. Evidence exists to support the view that lymphatics frequently fail in venous disease, particularly in its advanced stages. The implications of this are to increase the risk of infection and the amount of edema, events which can only further the morbidity of venous disease.
