[Status and quantitative characteristics of plethoric brain capillaries in acute and chronic venous congestion]

Using histological morphometric and variation statistical methods it was demonstrated that in acute and chronic systemic venous congestion in cranial cavity changes in the number of opened capillaries, their cross sectional area and total length of capillary bed occur in brain structures. The above-mentioned changes cause alterations in blood supply of brain regions which objectively reflects reorganization of cerebral vascular bed in new conditions.
