[Pathology of the lungs in patients with acute arterial obstruction in the lower extremities]. 1991

I N Zimon, and N A Mavlianova, and V A Khoroshaev

The course of the early postoperative period has been analysed in 325 patients with acute thrombosis and embolism; the results of 104 autopsies have been reviewed and macro- and microscopic lung studies have been performed using light microscopy. It has been established that broncho-pulmonary complications are most frequently encountered in the early postoperative period. Morphological changes in the lungs are proportional to the duration and severity of acute ischemia. In durable and severe ischemia the changes are progressing and are characterized by the elements of the "shock" lung. The morphological changes observed specify mechanisms of the onset of acute respiratory failure and broncho-pulmonary complications. They must be taken into consideration during intensive therapy.

D001157	Arterial Occlusive Diseases	Pathological processes which result in the partial or complete obstruction of ARTERIES. They are characterized by greatly reduced or absence of blood flow through these vessels. They are also known as arterial insufficiency.

D012189	Retrospective Studies	Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
