A septic embolism is a type of embolism that is infected with bacteria , resulting in the formation of pus . These may become dangerous if dislodged from their original location. Like other emboli, a septic embolism may be fatal. One of the common microbes that can lead to widespread dissemination of septic emboli is Fusobacterium necrophorum , a Gram negative anaerobic bacillus. Fusobacteria are commensal organisms in the oral cavity. F.necrophorum and F.nucleatum are the most important among the non spore forming anaerobic bacilli in causing human infections. F.necroporum may occasinally cause septicaemia with metastatic abscesses Lemierre s syndrome . Pathogenesis Septic emboli most often originate from Pulmonary extrapulmonary locations which have been infected for a period of time. For example, a person s intravenous access site, which is used to insert intravenous drug s, may become infected. When present in great number, septic emboli can coalesce and mimick a lobar or bronchopnuemonia. The infected site, combined with various coagulants that may be generated by the bacteria or the body, may then break off and enter the circulatory system , potentially causing a clot . Identification A septic embolism can be difficult to identify, as it is often attributed to other disorders or infections of the body. As a result, it may wreak havoc with CT scan s. It can also be confused with lymph node lymph nodules , considering the similarity in shape and size. However, septic emboli usually lodge in the heart valve s, where there are no lymph nodes.

A pulmonary tractotomy is a surgical technique to treat a penetrating lung injury . The tract of the lung injury is opened, and open bronchi and blood vessels are ligated sewn . Treatment of penetrating lung injuries Emergency surgery for a penetrating lung injury, e.g. an accident or a gunshot, is associated with a very high mortality rate . Such lung injuries cannot be treated with simple surgery they cannot be oversewn. If treated with simple surgery, blood vessels within the tract of the lung injury may continue to bleed and result in a haematoma which should be avoided. Or the patient may suffer a pulmonary air embolism and subsequently die. Penetrating lung injuries can be treated with a formal lung resection, or with pulmonary tractotomy. Comparison of treatments Pulmonary tractotomy is a lung sparing technique. It can prevent the need for formal lung resection. Its advantages over segmental lung resection include that it can be performed quicker it offers a rapid way to control bleeding haemorrhage and air leaks in patients with penetrating lung injuries. Also, pulmonary tractotomy can preserve healthy pulmonary tissue parenchyma this naturally is not possible with lung resection. ref Pulmonary tractotomy with selective vascular ligation for penetrating injuries to the lung.

A popular form of pulmonary angiography is computed tomography pulmonary angiography CTPA . This involves venous contrast only. Invasive pulmonary angiography was first performed in 1931 by Egas Moniz and colleagues. ref cite journal author Moniz E, Carvalho L, Lima A title Angiopneumographie journal Presse Med year 1931 volume 39 pages 996 99 ref Robb and Steinberg described pulmonary angiography by infusion of peripheral radiocontrast. ref cite journal author Robb GP, Steinberg I title A practical method of visualization of the chambers of the heart, the pulmonary circulation, and the great blood vessels in man journal J Clin Invest year 1938 volume 17 pages 507 pmc 434806 doi 10.1172 JCI100977 ref ref http books.google.co.uk books?id Mgl9G8oU1IkC&pg PA566 ref References reflist 2 External links http www.human body.org anatomical glossary 28 angiography pulmonary.html Referencing site for great detail on Pulmonary angiography Pulmonary angiography http www.nlm.nih.gov medlineplus ency article 003813.htm Pulmonary angiography MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia Category Cardiology treatment stub Medical imaging Category Projectional radiography pt Angiografia pulmonar ... more details
