Bronchial-arterial interdependence in isolated dog lung

S. J. Lai-Fook and M. J. Kallok

The bronchus and artery, embedded in the lung parenchyma, were modeled as adjoining cylindrical tubes in an elastic continuum. Solutions using finite-element analysis of nonuniform stress and strain occurring from an initial uniform state were computed for a reduction in arterial pressure. Maximal nonuniform principal and shear stresses in the parenchyma, equal to 2.5 times the mean periarterial stresses, occurred in the region adjacent to the bronchial-arterial joint. Bronchial cross section became oval and elongated along the line passing through the centers of the tubes, whereas arterial cross section elongated at right angles to this line. These predicted changes in shape of bronchus and artery were verified by radiographic measurements in isolated lobes, held at constant transpulmonary pressures of 4 and 25 cmH2O while arterial pressure was varied. Results suggest that peribronchovascular interstitial fluid pressure may be nonuniform and that the bronchial-arterial joint may be the preferential site for emphysematous perivascular lesions, which may occur on lung hyperinflation.
