Hypoxic perfusion of pulmonary arterial vasa vasorum increases pulmonary arterial pressure

In conclusion, the results of the current study prove that hypoxic perfusion of the vasa vasorum of the PA directly increases PAP in an ex situ lung perfusion setup suggesting that PA vasa vasorum function and wall ischemia may contribute to the development of PH.PMID:38651234 | DOI:10.1152/ajplung.00346.2023
