Implication

Randomized trial investigates physiological changes and structure-function relationships in canine postobstructive pulmonary vasculopathy, suggesting clinical relevance.

Key Points

This research aims to explore the relationship between structural changes and increased resistance in postobstructive pulmonary vasculopathy (POPV).
Chronic ligation of the left main pulmonary artery in seven dogs for 120 days
Morphological comparison between ligated left lower lobes and contralateral right lower lobes
Assessment of arterial and venous occlusion to evaluate physiological changes
Increased arterial resistance in POPV linked to greater medial muscle thickness and peripheral muscularization
Proliferation of bronchial vessels and focal bronchopulmonary anastomoses observed
Alterations were primarily due to morphological abnormalities without plexiform lesions
