Keeley, Marlene Rabinovitch Hospital for Sick Children.Canada Circulation ResearchCirc Res 1990; 66: 438-456DOI: 10.1161/01.res.66.2.438 AbstractWe created an animal model to understand better the pathogenesis and underlying mechanism of progressive central pulmonary venous (PV) obstruction, a condition not amenable to current therapy. Twenty piglets
