THE ROLE OF BRONCHOPULMONARY ANASTOMOSES IN CHRONIC INFLAMMATORY PROCESSES OF THE LUNG

SELECTIVE ARTERIOGRAPHIC INVESTIGATION

A. S. J. BOTENGA 1

1 From the Department of Radiology (Head: Prof. J. R. von Ronnen), University Hospital, Leiden, The Netherlands

Bronchopulmonary anastomoses have been frequently described in the literature, but no data concerning their developmental course have been reported. Selective roentgenography with a contrast medium has made it possible to follow these anastomoses in chronic inflammatory processes, particularly in bronchiectasis. It has been found that such anastomoses can entirely disappear. The decrease in the number and size of these bronchopulmonary shunts is accompanied by a decrease in the inflammatory phenomena. Bronchopulmonary anastomoses are therefore a measure of the severity of the inflammatory process.
