Abstract

The mucociliary clearance function was studied by radioaerosol inhalation lung cinescintigraphy and its quantification in 8 patients with pulmonary vascular diseases; pulmonary embolism, 5 cases, and right pulmonary artery hypoplasia, pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas, aortitis syndrome, 1 case each. The mucociliary clearance function was found to be well maintained in pulmonary vascular diseases unless ventilation was disturbed. There was no difference in the mucociliary clearance function between pulmonary embolism and other pulmonary vascular diseases.
