DSA der Pulmonalgefäße bei endobronchialer Laser- und Afterloadingtherapie maligner Bronchusstenosen

Abstract
The findings are reported of the DSA examination of the pulmonary vessels in 16 patients with malignant bronchial stenoses, for whom laser or after-loading therapy was being considered. In these patients an improvement of dyspnoea can be expected only of there is adequate perfusion of the involved lung segment. DSA demonstrated stenoses or occlusions of main pulmonary or lobar arteries in six patients. Ten patients had a normal pulmonary circulation. In most cases the result of the DSA examination was important in determining treatment.
