BACKGROUNDAt present, it has been known that the bronchogenic artery participates in the blood supply of primary bronchogenic carcinoma, but there is controversy about the blood supply from pulmonary artery in primary bronchogenic carcinoma. The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between the blood supply from pulmonary artery and pathological characteristis of patients with primary bronchogenic carcinoma.METHODSThe pulmonary arteries in 43 surgical samples of bronchogenic carcinoma were marked, then the iopromide was used to selective pulmonary arteriography in digital subtraction angiography (DSA). The relationship between tumor with blood supply from pulmonary artery and the pathologic characteristics was observed.RESULTSThere were 34 samples with blood supply from pulmonary artery ( 79.07%) , and 9 samples without blood supply from pulmonary artery (20.93%). The development rate of peripheral lung cancer (100.00%) was significantly higher than that of central lung cancer (64.00%) (P < 0.01) .
