Intrapulmonary agenesis of venous system and bronchopulmonary arterial anastomosis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Agenesis of the intrapulmonary and extrapulmonary veins of the right lung was found by angiography and histological examination in a three year old boy. Blood supplied by the intersegmental arteries drained via the pulmonary arteries of the right lung into main and left pulmonary arteries. This caused a shunt between the aorta and pulmonary artery. Agenesis of the pulmonary venous system as a cause of left to right shunt has not been reported before.

Contrast Enhanced Echocardiography for Detection of Intrapulmonary Shunts in Liver Transplant Candidates
Background: Intrapulmonary vascular abnormalities associated with liver cirrhosis may result in intrapulmonary right-to-left shunt and hypoxemia. The aim of this study was to use contrast enhanced echocardiography to detect intrapulmonary vascular abnormalities in patients with liver cirrhosis candidates for liver transplantation. Methods: One hundred and two adult patients underwent contrast e...
متن کاملVenous-arterial admixture in the lungs in primary and secondary polycythemia.
A LTHOUGH the arterial oxygen saturation is normal in most patients with polyeythemia vera,1 2 it is sometimes reduced.3-5 The causes of such reduction are uncertain, but decreased diffusion capacity and damage to the respiratory center are among the possibilities that have been suggested. Most aspects of pulmonary function, however, are not significantly deranged in patients with polyeythemia ...
متن کاملHypoxia recruits intrapulmonary arteriovenous pathways in intact rats but not isolated rat lungs.
Intrapulmonary arteriovenous anastomoses (IPAVS) directly connect the arterial and venous circulations in the lung, bypassing the capillary network. Here, we used solid, latex microspheres and isolated rat lung and intact, spontaneously breathing rat models to test the hypothesis that IPAVS are recruited by alveolar hypoxia. We found that hypoxia recruits IPAVS in the intact rat, but not the is...
متن کاملIntrapulmonary arteriovenous shunts of 15 m in diameter probably do not contribute to arterial hypoxemia in maximally exercising Thoroughbred horses
Manohar, Murli, and Thomas E. Goetz. Intrapulmonary arteriovenous shunts of 15 m in diameter probably do not contribute to arterial hypoxemia in maximally exercising Thoroughbred horses. J Appl Physiol 99: 224–229, 2005. First published March 17, 2005; doi:10.1152/japplphysiol.01230.2004.—The present study examined whether Thoroughbred horses performing strenuous exercise exhibit intrapulmonary...
متن کاملBronchopulmonary arterial shunting without anatomic anastomosis in the dog.
The effects of bronchial arterial administration of vasoactive substances on the pulmonary circulation were studied by a new technique for selective catheterization of a bronchial artery in intact dogs. In most experiments, this technique permitted pressor agents to be distributed mainly to one lung with smaller amounts to the other lung. The intercostal arteries were avoided, and in all but 2...
