Normally, blood flows through the arteries and then returns to the heart through the veins, but when there is an arteriovenous fistula, some blood flow passes directly from the artery to the vein. Thus, tissues do not receive enough oxygen without reaching capillary circulation, whereby the affected tissue oxygenation may be poor. A major cause of this disease is the abnormal development of blood vessels in the lung. Those who suffer from hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (genetic disorder involving malformation of blood vessels) are more likely to be exposed.   ...

As a result, ischemia occurs in the area of the affected vessel. There are several clinical forms of stroke: ischemic stroke, in which the obstruction affects a cerebral vessel and is manifested by a more or less severe symptoms of stroke; pulmonary embolism, pulmonary artery occlusion which may result in non-functioning part of the lung, or in severe cases the instantaneous death; embolism of central retinal artery, which can lead to blindness in the affected eye. ...

Lymphedema

Lymphedema is an excessive accumulation of a protein called lymph in a limb, caused by an alteration of the lymphatic system (immune system that helps fight infection and disease).

Currently, there are two lymphedema surgery procedures that solve successfully pathology: microsurgical transfer and lymph node-venous shunt microsurgical. The first technique involves the removal of healthy lymph with blood vessels elsewhere in the body, such as the superficial inguinal area, and its placement in the armpit.

The first is the formation of a clot within the vein without inflammation but great peelability, since it is poorly bonded to the vessel wall. Usually affects the deep venous system and can even cause a pulmonary embolism. For thrombophlebitis, usually attached to the vein wall and is clinically manifested as a palpable cord, hard, pain, heat and redness in the area of the affected vessel. The treatment in this case is usually based on anti-inflammatories or antibiotics. In patients in whom deep venous thrombosis affecting the system pierma (DVT), an emergency hospitalization is required because if it appears may cause a heart attack, a stroke or pulmonary embolism. ...

For inflammation affect the second called phlebitis, whereas if the damage is in the arteries is called arteritis. The classification of these clinical pictures is performed according to the size of the affected vessel, the severity of lesions, the type and the cause infiltration process. The causes of vasculitis can be infectious, immunologic or cause, often for no apparent reason. Clinical manifestations appear depending on the location of the affected vessel: a cutaneous level (ulcers), kidney and genital level (hypertension), a neurological level (headaches), and bone and joint or muscle level (joint pain). In any case, treatment should be swift and adapted to each pathology and patient. ...

Venous insufficiency

  It means venous insufficiency difficulties in the venous return of blood flow through the veins, either by the presence of a stenosis in the vessel, by an insufficiency of valves therein, or because they have lost the elasticity of its walls, expanding and leading to varicose veins. Risk factors that predispose to this disease are obesity, age, genetic factors, multiple pregnancies, remain standing long hours ... Venous insufficiency is manifested by symptoms such as itching, redness of the skin at the ankles and distal part of the foot, swelling, discoloration in the area, superficial varicose veins and leg ulcers, among others.
