The patients treated with using IV LBI more often noted resorption of infiltration (17%) and сlosure of the cavities was more frequent (8%). In 1 group the increase of blood circulation around the cavity more often by 32%. Histological examination after surgery showed that in 2 group tuberculosis process has characteristic signs of pronounced progression with predominance of caseous-necrotic and exudative components. In group 1 small pockets of compacted caseous surrounded by a thin layer of granulation tissue and well-formed fibrous capsule. Large caverns have a wide fibrous wall, often with focal infiltration of lymphoid and macrophage elements, the presence of different areas of compacted caseosis, sometimes with calcification. On the periphery of the thick fibrous capsule can be seen glandular structures formed cubic epithelium without signs of atypia and reflecting the regeneration of alveolar tissue in this area. Fresh foci of dissemination and epithelial cell granulomas are not determined or isolated.Conclusion: The use of VLBI in preoperative preparation promotes healing processes and leads to effective surgical treatment.FootnotesCite this article as: European Respiratory Journal 2019; 54: Suppl. 63, PA2213.This is an ERS International Congress abstract.
