Hypoxemic Vasoconstriction/Endobronchial Valves

Imaging findings

Lack of opacification in pulmonary veins in a lung segment with endobronchial valves during a PE study.

Key takeaways

Localized lack of venous filling may be due to hypoxemic vasoconstriction (shunting blood away from under-ventilated areas) rather than primary thrombus.
