[Unilateral pulmonary artery aplasia with special reference to lung scintigraphy (author's transl)]. 1979

L Schmid, and O Lauer, and H Langhammer, and N Rupp, and H Schlehe, and H W Pabst

In a case of unilateral aplasia of one Arteria pulmonalis, i.e. proximal interruption, the diagnostic value of perfusion and ventilation scintigraphy is shown to be simple and non-invasive, exposing the patient to a lower radiation dose than other diagnostic screening methods. When an interruption of a main pulmonary artery is radiologically suspected the scintigraphic examination allows to distinguish between vascular and/or parenchymatous pulmonary diseases, thus clarifying the diagnosis of primary pulmonary malperfusion. The results of other examinations, the relevant literature, the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of unilateral pulmonary artery aplasia as well as therapeutical and prognostic aspects are reviewed.

D011651 Pulmonary Artery The short wide vessel arising from the conus arteriosus of the right ventricle and conveying unaerated blood to the lungs. Arteries, Pulmonary,Artery, Pulmonary,Pulmonary Arteries
D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

D001165 Arteriovenous Malformations Abnormal formation of blood vessels that shunt arterial blood directly into veins without passing through the CAPILLARIES. They usually are crooked, dilated, and with thick vessel walls. A common type is the congenital arteriovenous fistula. The lack of blood flow and oxygen in the capillaries can lead to tissue damage in the affected areas. Arteriovenous Malformation,Malformation, Arteriovenous,Malformations, Arteriovenous
