Source sentences:
text: (I) bronchial arteries are subject to higher arterial pressure as opposed to the lower venous pressure of pulmonary arteries; (II) pulmonary circulation is reduced in many pulmonary disease states, which results in vasodilation of the normal bronchial-pulmonary arterial anastomoses resulting in thin walled vessels prone to rupture under arterial pressure; and (III) inflammatory conditions can cause the release of angiogenic factors resulting in neovascularity with vessels that are also prone to rupture (1,8,16,17) (Figure 2).
