Bronchography via the fibreoptic bronchoscope.
We have reviewed the results of 167 consecutive bronchograms carried out through the fibreoptic bronchoscope at the end of the bronchoscopic examination. Additional diagnostic information was obtained in 61 (37%) of the patients. Bronchiectasis was the most common finding and was particularly frequent in older patients with haemoptysis and a normal chest radiograph, in those with a chronic prod...

The contrast agent Iotrolan 300 has potential advantages for bronchography over previous agents in that it can be injected directly through the bronchoscope and it does not obscure bronchoscopic vision or interfere with further bronchoscopic procedures. It was used for selective bronchography in 20 patients with suspected bronchiectasis. Side effects and change in FEV1 and in arterial oxygen sa...
متن کاملEndobronchial pulp-canal reamer extracted with the fibreoptic bronchoscope.
A 45-year-old man had had an unproductive and persistent cough for two weeks, after aspiration of a pulpcanal reamer. A chest radiograph revealed the aspirated object lodged in the posterior basal segment of the lower left lobe (figure). Because the object was inaccessible to the rigid bronchoscope, the patient was referred to a surgeon with a view to thoractomy. He invited us to try to remove ...
متن کاملComparison of bronchograms after instillation of contrast medium via fibreoptic bronchoscope and nasal catheter.
Bronchography using a fibreoptic bronchoscope to instill the contrast medium is increasingly popular, with an estimated 526 procedures performed in the United Kingdom in 1983.1 2 The qualities of bronchograms obtained by this and by conventional techniques have not been compared. We organised a retrospective study to compare the results of bronchography via a fibreoptic bronchoscope with those ...
