"Cauldwell classification is a commonly used classification 4 in assessing bronchial artery branching patterns. Some studies show that the number and diameter of bronchial arteries, as well as the incidence of ectopic bronchial arteries, is higher in men than in women 5. It is important to aware of the bronchial artery anatomy, especially when doing interventional procedure such as bronchial artery embolisation6."
"type l : one right ICBT, two left bronchial arteries"
"type ll : one right ICBT, one left bronchial artery"
"type lll : two right (ICBT and right bronchial artery), two left bronchial arteries"
"type lV : two right (ICBT and right bronchial artery), one left bronchial artery"
"Bronchial artery anatomy was studied by an American pathologist Earl W Cauldwell (1916-1959) 3 on human cadavers and published in 1948 1."
