RESUMO
A extensa rede vascular pulmonar e brônquica, associada à grande quantidade de células imunocompetentes, torna os pulmões importante alvo de vasculites imunomediadas. O envolvimento destes vasos sanguíneos pode provocar qualquer sintoma respiratório, dependendo do tipo, local e extensão da lesão no sistema vascular respiratório. Algumas situações ameaçadoras da vida podem resultar, abrindo ou acompanhando o quadro destas patologias e, se não prontamente identificadas e tratadas, podem resultar em risco elevado de morbimortalidade. Destacamos duas destas condições especiais - estenoses de grande vias aéreas e hemorragia alveolar disusa - e descrevemos seus aspectos fisiopatológicos, clínicos e terapêuticos
ABSTRACT
The extensive pulmonary and bronchial vascular system, associated to large amount of immunocompetent cells, makes the respiratory system an important target of immune mediated vasculitis. These blood vessels involvement can cause any respiratory symptoms, depending on the type, location, and degree of lesion in the pulmonary vascular system. Some life-thereatening conditions may ensue, opening or following the course of those deseases and, if not identified and treated promptly, result in increased risk of morbitidy and mortality. We highlight two of those special situations large airway stenosis and diffuse alveolar hemorrhage, describing their pathophysiological clinical and therapeutic aspects
