Selective bronchial artery catheterization was conducted in four healthy subjects and 86 patients with various cardiopulmonary diseases. Satisfactory bronchial arteriograms were obtained in 67 (66 percent) of 101 studied. Three pathologic conditions: inflammation, malignant neoplasm, and diminished pulmonary blood flow resulted in hyperdevelopment of the bronchial arteries. Bronchial arteriograms, although not invariably, showed a typical pattern depending on the disease. Considerable connections between pulmonary and bronchial vascular circulations were proved angiographically in some cases. There was no close correlation between the increase in bronchial blood flow and the hyperdevelopment of bronchial arteries on angiograms.
