This accounts for the fact that few broadly perspective studies on the pathogenesis of phlebosclerosis are extant. Furthermore, the study of phlebosclerosis has hitherto been viewed with indifference, because clinically it has not the ominous connotation of arteriosclerosis.Therefore, a systematic study of phlebosclerosis in a number of localizations was carried out from 1953 to 1957. To observe relationships, a section of the inferior vena cava between the hepatic veins and the renal vein, the...Bibliography1.
