PY - 2011 T2 - Venous and Lymphatic Diseases AB - The body is made up of several transport systems, including the arterial, venous, and lymphatic systems as well as the neurologic system. Injury to any of these systems may occur and, almost always, when an injury occurs to an area, it affects more than one system. Certainly, the venous system is subject to damage whenever an injury or traumatic experience occurs. The trauma may be minimal and therefore the injury may be minimal; however, the trauma may seem simple, and the injury may be severe but masked when no major outward signs are noted. Venous trauma may include injury to the endothelium, the venous musculature, or the adventitia of the vein. Such trauma may be compression (i.e., crushing) in nature as well as transectional (both partial and complete) and linear as well as cross-sectional. Each of these injury types may require a different therapeutic approach.
