title: [Dynamics of radiological changes in the lungs after surgical trans-sternal occlusion of the upper bronchi in patients with tuberculosis].
abstract: Examination findings of X-ray dynamics in 27 patients with disseminated destructive pulmonary tuberculosis are presented. The above patients were subjected to a surgical transsternal occlusion of the upper bronchi after their admission to the Thoracic Surgery Department of the Gorky Regional Antituberculous Dispensary. The study of the X-ray data thus obtained in the immediate and late postoperative periods has demonstrated different versions of the dynamics of roentgenomorphologic changes both in cavitary formations and their adjoining lung tissue. The clinicoroentgenologic comparisons led to the conclusion that there were various cure types in operated patients with maintained air-tightness of the occluded bronchus stump. Recanalization of the latter resulted in the process progression in the excluded portion of a lung.
