[Lymphatic vessels and blood vessels of the lung and of the bronchial anastomosis after autotransplantation--an experimental study].

Changes of the lymph and blood vessels of the lung and of the bronchus anastomosis were investigated in dogs in several times after 180 autotransplantations of a lobe of the lung. The regeneration of the lymph vessels in the lung autograft started 8-14 days after the operation and was concluded 30-60 days after the operation. Afterwards the lymph vessels had the normal structure and there was no difference to the intact lung. The anatomic regeneration of the lymph vessels in the bronchus anastomosis and the lymph drain from the lung autograft started 8-9 days after the operation and was concluded within the first 14 days. The regeneration of the bronchial arterial system began 6-7 days after the autotransplantation and was completed within the first 14 days.
