Article Synopsis
- - Non-invasive evaluation of pulmonary blood flow is crucial for Understanding gas exchange in the lungs, and a chest digital dynamic radiography system (CDDR) can provide visual and quantitative data by capturing changes in lung radiographic transparency in sync with the heartbeat.
- - The lung-diffusing capacity (DLCO) test assesses factors related to the alveolar membrane and blood flow, and changes in DLCO can indicate variations in pulmonary blood flow, especially in patients with conditions like anaemia or without visible interstitial abnormalities.
- - The study compared CDDR results with DLCO measurements among patients categorized by their DLCO levels, revealing that the mean and median pulmonary blood flow values obtained through CDDR were significantly lower in those with reduced DLCO,
BACKGROUND Pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) sometimes leads to a shock state and sudden death due to acute massive pulmonary arterial thrombosis. The origins of pulmonary arterial thrombi are varied, but most arise from deep vein thrombosis. We herein presented a very rare cause of PTE due to paradoxical embolism caused by arteriovenous fistula from common iliac artery to common iliac vein.
