    Summary

    Pulmonary varices are rare vascular anomalies. This study details two unique cases, one with an internal fistula between lung lobes and another with an arteriovenous fistula, both diagnosed via angiography.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Medicine
    • Pulmonary Medicine
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Pulmonary varices are uncommon vascular malformations in the lungs.
    • Only 41 cases have been reported in world literature.
    • Vascular anomalies in the lungs require precise diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report two unique cases of pulmonary varices with complex vascular anomalies.
    • To highlight the diagnostic utility of angiography in identifying these rare conditions.
    • To contribute to the understanding of pulmonary vascular malformations.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report of two patients with diagnosed pulmonary varices.
    • Pre-operative diagnosis utilizing angiography.
    • Post-resection specimen angiography for detailed vascular visualization.

    Main Results:

    • One patient presented with an internal fistula connecting two distinct pulmonary varices across lung lobes.
    • The second patient had a pulmonary varix alongside an arteriovenous fistula in the right middle lobe.
    • Angiography accurately identified the vascular anomalies pre-operatively and confirmed findings in resected specimens.

    Conclusions:

    • Pulmonary varices can present with complex and rare anatomical configurations.
    • Angiography is a crucial diagnostic tool for pulmonary vascular anomalies.
    • Detailed vascular imaging aids in surgical planning and understanding of these conditions.
