[Influence of digitoxin on isolated segments of lateral branches of human vena saphena (author's transl)].

: The effect of digitoxin on isolated segments of lateral branches of the human saphenous vein perfused in vitro with constant volumes is reported. Digitoxin, depending on concentraion, effected rise in perfusion pressure and intensification of reaction to norepinephrine. Some venous segments showed spontaneous activity. The tests were supported by histological studies.
