title: [Retrograde blood circulation and ischemic heart disease].
abstract: The author performed experiments on 350 dogs and X-ray postmortem studies of 1520 corpses of subjects who had died of various diseases and injuries. It was found that in occlusive great vessels in the ischemic organs and tissues, retrograde circulation developed, which completely maintained their viability under definite conditions. Retrograde venous blood flow to diseased organs and tissues drastically increased in insufficient retrograde arterial blood circulation. Under certain conditions, surplus venous blood influx caused edema and their dysfunctions. The mechanisms of retrograde circulation account for asymptomatic occlusion of the great vessels.
