Case description

Why are true lung infarcts rather uncommon even with completely occluded pulmonary arteries? Are most recent lung infarcts hemorrhagic (red) rather than pale (white, or anemic)? Why? Does a portion of lung supplied by a pulmonary artery still ventilate when the artery is occluded? Does it still ventilate when there is infarction?
