Diagnosis of arteriovenous blood shunting in the lungs by means of perfusion scintigraphy in clinical practice and experiment

https://doi.org/10.24884/1682-6655-2011-10-4-49-53

Abstract

The article proposes a way to quantify the amount of arteriovenous shunting of blood by lung perfusion scintigraphy in patients with congenital malformations (arteriovenous fistula, Osler-Rendu-Weber pulmonary disease, hepato-pulmonary syndrome) and in patients with other diseases of the lungs, accompanied by severe hypoxemia. In the experimental study (simulation of COPD and pulmonary embolism in rats) we founded out that the arteriovenous shunting of blood in the lungs is an important mechanism of the regulation of organal and systemic hemodynamics.
