Fig. 1B. 39-year-old man with organizing pneumonia in lower lobe of
right lung. Selective arteriogram shows that right seventh intercostal artery
(arrows) is hypertrophied and reveals hypervascular stain and
arteriovenous shunt in base of right lower lobe.

Fig. 1C. 39-year-old man with organizing pneumonia in lower lobe of
right lung. Right renal arteriogram shows hypertrophied inferior phrenic
artery (arrows) arising from right renal artery. Hypervascular stain
and arteriovenous shunt are visible in base of right lower lobe.

Fig. 1D. 39-year-old man with organizing pneumonia in lower lobe of
right lung. Right subclavian arteriogram reveals that right internal mammary

Fig. 1E. 39-year-old man with organizing pneumonia in lower lobe of
right lung. Thoracic aortogram obtained after embolization of right lateral
thoracic and thoracodorsal arteries during third session of transarterial
embolization (23 days after initial embolization) shows focal hypervascular
lesion (arrows) involving base of right lower lobe. Image was
obtained during late arterial phase using anteroposterior projection and
injection of 40 mL of contrast medium at rate of 20 mL/sec.

Fig. 1F. 39-year-old man with organizing pneumonia in lower lobe of
right lung. Selective hepatic arteriogram shows that hypervascular lesion
(arrows) of right lower lobe is mainly supplied by nonbronchial
systemic collaterals originating from hepatic arteries.
