  • Title: [Pulmonary blood flow in bronchiectasis patients before and after lung resection].
    Author: Medvenskiĭ BV, Kachan LV.
    Journal: Vestn Khir Im I I Grek; 1981 Apr; 126(4):17-20. PubMed ID: 7269066.
    Abstract:
    The analysis of data obtained in the investigation of functions of the pulmonary blood flow in 44 patients prior to and following segmentary and combined resections of the lungs fulfilled for bronchiectasis has shown that almost all the patients with bronchiectasis have the disturbed hemodynamics of the small circulation circuit. The direct relation was shown between the duration of the disease, spread of the pathological process and the degree of lung hypertension. It has been found that a resection within the limits of 6 lung segments fails to exert a negative influence on hemodynamics of the small blood circulation circuit and allows prevention of progressing pulmonary hypertension in most of the patients.
