Abstract

A thorough understanding of vascular system is a prerequisite for vascular specialists. The knowledge of venous development is often ignored despite the fact that all the mature and named vessels originate from their precursor i.e. embryonic vessels and any vascular anomalies is closely correlated with its development This chapter has tried to cover the development of arterial, venous and lymphatic system and its associated anomalies.
