Despite improvement in current therapies, the clinical course of infants with BPD is often characterized by marked hypoxemia that can become refractory to therapy. Preacinar anatomic and functional communications between systemic and pulmonary vascular systems has been established in fetal lungs, but whether increased intrapulmonary anastomotic vessels or their failure to regress after birth contributes to hypoxemia in preterm infants with BPD is unknown.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We sought to find histologic evidence of intrapulmonary anastomotic vessels in lungs of patients who died of severe BPD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We collected lung tissues from fatal BPD cases and performed histology, immunohistochemistry, and high-precision three-dimensional reconstruction techniques.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Measurements and Main Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We report histologic evidence of intrapulmonary vessels that bridge pulmonary arteries and veins in the distal lungs of infants dying with severe BPD.
