The dimensions, number of branches and branching pattern (monopodial vs dichotomic) of both bronchial and pulmonary vascular structures were evaluated under positive inspiration apnoea. A linear generalised estimating equations analysis (Spearman\u2019s rho) was used to identify statistical correlation between tracheal diameter, age and body weight of the cats.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Fourteen cats met the inclusion criteria. The pulmonary arteries had larger diameters than the pulmonary veins, and the pulmonary veins had larger diameters than the bronchial structures. A higher number of segmental bronchial and pulmonary vascular branches was observed in the left caudal lung lobe than in the other lobes. The monopodial branching pattern of both bronchial and pulmonary vascular structures was predominant in all cats of our study (100%) in cranial, caudal and right middle lung lobes, while a dichotomic branching pattern of the bronchial and pulmonary vascular structures of the accessory lung lobe was seen in 13 cats (93%). Thirteen cats (93%) had three pulmonary vein ostia, and one cat (7%) also presented with an additional left intermediate pulmonary vein ostium. Variation in the number of segmental pulmonary vein branches was noted in the right caudal lung lobe. There was no statistical correlation between tracheal diameter, age and weight.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions and relevance<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Architecture of the feline bronchovascularr structures belongs to a mixed type of monopodial and dichotomic branching pattern. In cats, the pulmonary venous drainage system predominately presents three pulmonary vein ostia. Variations in the type of formation and the number of branches of the pulmonary venous drainage system were noted.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/1098612x18807778","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,8]],"date-time":"2018-11-08T09:08:55Z","timestamp":1541668135000},"page":"893-901","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["64-multidetector CT anatomical assessment of the feline bronchial and pulmonary vascular structures"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8496-2159","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ioannis","family":"Panopoulos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Diagnostic Imaging, Alphavet, Kifisia, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Edoardo","family":"Auriemma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Diagnostic Imaging, Veterinary Institute of Novara, Novara, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Swan","family":"Specchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Diagnostic Imaging, Veterinary Institute of Novara, Novara, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alessia","family":"Diana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Medical Sciences, University of Bologna, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marco","family":"Pietra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Medical Sciences, University of Bologna, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anastasia","family":"Papastefanou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology, Optivet Referrals, Hampshire, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eric","family":"Zini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic for Small Animal Internal Medicine, Zurich University, Vetsuisse-Faculty, Zurich, Switzerland"},{"name":"Department of Animal Medicine, Production and Health, University of Padua, Legnaro, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Istituto Veterinario di Novara, Novara, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mario","family":"Cipone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Medical Sciences, University of Bologna, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/2055116916676176"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1098612X16636419"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1098612X15588799"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/vru.12240"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.vetpar.2014.09.007"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/cea.12411"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/vru.12044"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.vetpar.2012.12.045"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1748-5827.2003.tb00121.x"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/vru.12564"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1740-8261.1998.tb01640.x"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1740-8261.2011.01870.x"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1098612X16668931"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1098612X17734999"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1292\/jvms.16-0476"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jfms.2006.10.003"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_18_2","unstructured":"Barone R.
