Persistence of pulmonary arterial hypertension after relief of left sided obstructive lesions in small infants: our experience

Tomar Munesh Medanta – The Medicity.India Images in Paediatric CardiologyImages Paediatr Cardiol 2017;DOI Not Available AbstractBackground: Infants with critical left sided obstructive lesions usually present with left ventricle dysfunction and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Left ventricular dysfunction and pulmonary artery pressures usually normalize after relief of obstruction. In some, PAH persists despite adequate relief of obstruction.Patients

Pulmonary venous stenosis in a premature infant with bronchopulmonary dysplasia: clinical and autopsy findings of these newly associated entities

Steven Christopher Smith, Raja Rabah University of Michigan Health System.United States Pediatric and Developmental PathologyPediatr Dev Pathol 2012; 15: 160-164DOI: 10.2350/11-09-1099-CR.1 AbstractPulmonary venous stenosis is rare and is most commonly found in association with cardiac malformations. Recent studies have associated pulmonary venous stenosis with prematurity, especially with bronchopulmonary dysplasia, although no such case has been documented
