This happened to me in 1998 during an exploratory abdominal surgery. The doctor accidentally poked a hole in the cisterna chyli. Every since, i have throw one blood clot after another, not to mention intestional problems and these tortuous dilated veins in all over my legs, abdomen and pretty much the whole trunk of my body. About 5 years ago, i began dialysis. The cisterna chyli seems to play a pretty big role if it is ruptured since it is the most drainage trunk of most of the body's lymphatics.

In the human anatomy what is considered a vessel?
A vessel is anything that contains a fluid. There are many in the body. The most numerous are the blood vessels that carry blood, but there are also lymphatic vessels that carry lymph.
