Pulmonary Hypertension Associated with Stenosis or Atresia of Pulmonary Veins

CT findings in diseases associated with pulmonary hypertension: a current review

Claudia Grosse, Alexandra Grosse Medical University of ViennaAustria RadiographicsRadiographics 2010; 30: 1753-1777DOI: 10.1148/rg.307105710 AbstractPulmonary hypertension may primarily affect either the arterial (precapillary) or the venous (postcapillary) pulmonary circulation. Pulmonary arterial hypertension may be idiopathic or arise in association with chronic pulmonary thromboembolism; pulmonary embolism caused by tumor cells, parasitic material, or foreign material; parenchymal lung disease; […]

[Congenital stenosis of pulmonary veins: long-term efficacy after intraluminal dilatation]

Fernando Benito Bartolomé Hospital Infantil La Paz.Spain Revista Española CardiologíaRev Esp Cardiol 2001; 54: 1111-1112DOI: 10.1016/s0300-8932(01)76459-7 AbstractWe present a 7-month-old infant diagnosed with congenital pulmonary vein stenosis. Cardiac catheterization showed two sequential stenoses of the superior left pulmonary vein and balloon angioplasty was performed. The gradient decreased from 20 to 4 mmHg and pulmonary artery pressure
