Congestion of the lungs and fluid accumulation are common. Fluid can also build up in the abdomen and around the lungs, if the right side of the heart is also involved. Congestion and fluid buildup indicate heart failure. Dogs with DCM-induced heart failure often have left-sided congestive failure.
Arterial anastomoses provides alternate pathways (collateral channels or collateral circulation) for blood to reach a given body region. If one arterial branch is blocked or cut, the collateral channel can often provide the region with an adequate blood supply and thereby, minimizing the damage at tissue level.rterial anastomoses are abundant in abdominal organs and around joints where active body movements may hinder blood flow through one channel. Arteries that do not anastomose, or have a poorly developed collateral circulation are known as end arteries. These end arteries supply the retina, kidneys, and spleen.
1. an anastomosis connecting the end of an artery and that of some other vessel, either directly or with a synthetic graft. 2. anastomosis of two sections of colon, such as with partial colectomy or when an ileostomy is closed.end-to-side anastomosis an anastomosis connecting the end of one vessel with the side of a larger one. heterocladic anastomosis one between branches of different arteries.nd-to-end anastomosis. 1. one connecting the end of an artery and that of some other vessel. 2. anastomosis of two sections of colon, as with partial colectomy or closure of an ileostomy. end-to-side anastomosis an anastomosis connecting the end of one vessel with the side of a larger one.
