Mechanism of pulmonary vein stenosis in infants with normally connected veins

Iran M. Sadr, Puay E. Tan, Mark W. Kieran, Kathy J. Jenkins Children’s Hospital, Boston.United States American Journal of CardiologyAm J Cardiol 2000; 86: 577-579DOI: 10.1016/s0002-9149(00)01022-5 AbstractWe used microscopy, immunohistochemistry, and cell culture to identify the mechanism of restenosis in 4 infants with isolated pulmonary vein stenosis. Recurrent obstruction appears to be due to myofibroblastic proliferation
