overload/overwhelm the cardiovascular system
Which anastomosis pathways are used when working with clients with:
Secondary, right, upper-extremity lymphedema? - ANSWERS-Anterior
& Posterior Interaxillary anastomosis, (R) axilo inguinal anastomosis
(affected side)
Which anastomosis pathways are used when working with clients with:
Primary, left, upper-extremity lymphedema? - ANSWERS-(L) axillary
lymph nodes. No anastomosis pathways required. Nodes are intact, only
vessels are affected in primary.
Which anastomosis pathways are used when working with clients with:
Secondary, right, lower-extremity lymphedema? - ANSWERS-Anterior
& Posterior Interinguinal anastomosis, (R) inguinal axilo anastomosis
Which anastomosis pathways are used when working with clients with:
Primary, left, lower-extremity lymphedema? - ANSWERS-(L) inguinal
nodes. No anastomosis pathways required. Nodes are intact, only vessels

anastomosis
