Patients with thromboembolism of small branches of the pulmonary artery (TESPA) were examined by rheopulmonography (RPG) for the pulmonary blood flow over the zones of thromboembolism and uninvolved parts of the lungs. The study was performed at the initial disease stage, on days 3-7 of the disease and before the patient's discharge from hospital. It was shown that pulmonary circulation undergoes some successive changes. During the first phase, the total vascular hypertension and arterial hypertension of the pulmonary circulation together with occlusion are noted. During the second phase, dilatation of the arterial bed in the healthy zones and normalization of arterial hypertension together with the reduced blood flow in the area of thromboembolism are observed. The convalescence phase is characterized by the recovery of the blood flow in the area of thromboembolism and return of the arterial tone in the pulmonary circulation to normal. RPG permits one to have an objective evaluation of the clinical picture of TESPA and therapy received by the patients.

In 60 patients with chronic nonspecific lung diseases, both pulmonary circulation systems were examined simultaneously by catheterization and selective angiography of bronchial and lesser circulation vessels. The value of regional oxy- and barometric measurements for the diagnostics of left-to-right shunts in the lesser circulation was proved. Complex angiological examinations of both lung circulation systems helped reveal the basic variations of intrapulmonary anastomoses in both systems in patients with chronic nonspecific lung diseases. The formation of intrapulmonary anastomoses in such patients led to regional hyperoxygenation and to pulmonary arterial hypertension in the lesser circulation (in 18% of the patients), and to functional blockade of the perfusion (in 47% of the patients) of the affected segments, lobes, or the whole lung, which phenomenon substantially influenced the clinical course of the disease.

Over 3000 pneumoxyhaemogrammes were recorded in 1840 persons. Periods, types and criteria of pathology were differentiated in the structure of the pneumoxyhaemogramme. The method permits to reveal early forms of cardiovascular pathology. It is applicable for the examination of both normals and patients for early diagnosis of cardiovascular pathology, for the control of the therapeutic effect, and for a dynamic observation in the course of a dispensary screening.
