[Changes in the structure of the gastric mucosa in chronic disorders of visceral blood circulation]

Experiments were conducted on 63 healthy mongrel dogs to study the character of structural changes in the mucous membrane of the stomach in 50% obstruction of the celiac trunk (21), protracted gradual obstruction of the celiac trunk (22), and protracted gradual occlusion of the celiac trunk and cranial mesenteric artery (20). The authors revealed a direct dependence of the structural shifts in the gastric mucosa on the duration and degree of disorders of visceral circulation, which confirms the need for surgical correction; the indications and terms for performing restorative operations are directly dependent on the degree of disorders of the main blood flow.
