To determine the distribution, localization, and pathological vascular alterations involved in the development of systemic-pulmonary collateral circulation in humans following pulmonary thromboembolism.
Evaluated pathological vascular responses in human lung tissue following clinical pulmonary thromboembolism.
Analyzed the anatomical distribution and localization of collateral communications between bronchial and pulmonary arterial systems.
Characterized the three clinical phases following pulmonary embolism as initial vascular occlusion, secondary pulmonary infarction, and compensatory collateral vessel proliferation.
Identified pathological alterations facilitating systemic-to-pulmonary arterial anastomoses beyond normal baseline capillary connections at the respiratory bronchiole level.

Implication

Pathological analysis characterizes systemic-pulmonary collateral circulation in human lungs after thromboembolism, suggesting compensatory vascular remodeling restores blood flow.
