Pulmonary vasculitis in Beh çet's disease: reference atlas computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) findings and risk assessment-management proposal

CONCLUSION: Peripheral arterial thrombosis and/or aneurysms, intracardiac thrombosis and haemoptysis severity are predictor of fatal outcomes in BD pulmonary vasculitis. PAPs with perianeurysmal alveolar haemorrhage and/or bronchial indentation are serious CTPA signs that require prompt identification and aggressive treatment. PAPs are a more serious aneurysmal pattern than true PAAs because they are a contained rupture of a PA branch in the context of pulmonary vasculitis.PMID:37712377 | DOI:10.36141/svdld.v40i3.13726
