“…The pulmonary circulation accounts for 97% of total circulation in the lung and the bronchial circulation for 3% under physiological conditions [13] where the intrapulmonary perfusion by bronchial vessels, bronchopulmonary anastomoses and "Sperrarterien" dramatically increased in severe hypoxic lung conditions as e.g. in pulmonary hypertension [14], asthma [15] or COVID-19 [10,16].…”

In European countries, nearly 10% of all hospital admissions are related to respiratory diseases, mainly chronic life-threatening diseases such as COPD, pulmonary hypertension, IPF or lung cancer. The contribution of blood vessels and angiogenesis to lung regeneration, remodeling and disease progression has been increasingly appreciated. The vascular supply of the lung shows the peculiarity of dual perfusion of the pulmonary circulation (vasa publica), which maintains a functional blood-gas barrier, and the bronchial circulation (vasa privata), which reveals a profiled capacity for angiogenesis (namely intussusceptive and sprouting angiogenesis) and alveolar-vascular remodeling by the recruitment of endothelial precursor cells. The aim of this review is to outline the importance of vascular remodeling and angiogenesis in a variety of non-neoplastic and neoplastic acute and chronic respiratory diseases such as lung infection, COPD, lung fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension and lung cancer.

The spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome caused by coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has led to a devastating and world-wide pandemic disease known as the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). COVID-19 causes acute hypoxic respiratory failure (COVID-ARF), a major cause of mortality and morbidity, with an incompletely understood pathophysiologic mechanism. Gattinoni and colleagues noted that patients with COVID-ARF patients have lung disease that is often characterised by a remarkable dissociation between relatively well-preserved lung mechanics, including lung compliance, and severe hypoxemia [1].
