Pulmonary vein stenosis

Chen-Chih J. Sun, Thomas Doyle, Richard E. Ringel University of Maryland.United States Human PathologyHuman Pathol 1995; 26: 880-886DOI: 10.1016/0046-8177(95)90011-x AbstractPulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is a rare disorder. Accurate diagnosis often requires anatomical examination. We report four children with pulmonary vein stenosis. Autopsy showed bilateral lesions in two patients who were thought clinically to have unilateral disease. A diagnosis of PVS was
