Thrombotic embolism, branch left pulmonary artery, hemorrhagic infarction apex left lower lobe. An embolism is the lodging of an embolus , a blockage-causing piece of material, inside a blood vessel . [ 1 ]
A lung illustration depicting a pulmonary embolism as a thrombus (blood clot) that has travelled from another region of the body, causes occlusion of the pulmonary bronchial artery, leading to arterial thrombosis of the superior and inferior lobes in the left lung: Specialty: Hematology, cardiology, pulmonology, Emergency medicine: Symptoms
Bronchial Artery Aneurysm: Prevalence, Clinical Characteristics, and Long-Term Prognosis Following Bronchial Artery Embolization - This study is the first original research article on BAA, previously only reported in case reports, investigating the prevalence, characteristics, and long-term prognosis of BAA in BAE cases, showing a prevalence of ...
Lobar pneumonia usually has an acute progression. Classically, the disease has four stages: [1] Congestion in the first 24 hours: This stage is characterized histologically by vascular engorgement, intra-alveolar fluid, and small numbers of neutrophils, often numerous bacteria. Grossly, the lung is heavy and hyperemic.
These are common presenting symptoms of chronic and cardiogenic pulmonary edema due to left ventricular failure. The development of pulmonary edema may be associated with symptoms and signs of "fluid overload" in the lungs; this is a non-specific term to describe the manifestations of right ventricular
Pulmonary artery stenosis (PAS) is a narrowing of the pulmonary artery.The pulmonary artery is a blood vessel moving blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs. . This narrowing can be due to many causes, including infection during pregnancy, a congenital heart defect, a problem with blood clotting in childhood or early adulthood, or a genetic ch
Other common symptoms are a pulsing noise in the head, progressive weakness, numbness and vision changes as well as debilitating, excruciating pain. [4] [5] In serious cases, blood vessels rupture and cause bleeding within the brain (intracranial hemorrhage). [a] In more than half of patients with AVM, this is the first symptom. [7]
Infarction occurs as a result of prolonged ischemia, which is the insufficient supply of oxygen and nutrition to an area of tissue due to a disruption in blood supply.The blood vessel supplying the affected area of tissue may be blocked due to an obstruction in the vessel (e.g., an arterial embolus, thrombus, or atherosclerotic plaque), compressed by something outside of the vessel causing it ...
