Specific tissue reactions after treatment with the valve bronchial block as per the data of pathomorphological examination of the resected material
Abstract
The resected material obtained during treatment of destructive pulmonary tuberculosis patients was analyzed, the treatment included bronchial valve block. The majority of patients from comparison group – 23(92.0%) and 6 (40.0%) from the main group (p = 0.0007, Fisher’s exact test – FET) manifested the signs of specific and non-specific pulmonary inflammation at the moment of surgery. Symptoms of chronic bronchitis were detected in 32 (80.8%) patients, of them in 12 (80.0%) in the main group and in 20 (80.0%) patients in the comparison group (p = 0.6, FET). It has been found out that the use of bronchial valve block in the observed patients did not cause the development or exacerbation of chronic bronchitis.
