Pulmonary arterial hypertension [PDF]
Internal and Emergency Medicine, 2009 In Internal and Emergency Medicine, Wu and coworkers [1] review the topic of pulmonary arterial hypertension. Overall, their article is sound and pertinent; however, some issues deserve comments. First, the value of chest radiography in the diagnostic process is somewhat overlooked.

Transthoracic Pulmonary Artery Denervation for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension [PDF]
Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2019 Objective— Pulmonary arterial hypertension is characterized by progressive pulmonary vascular remodeling and persistently elevated mean pulmonary artery pressures and pulmonary vascular resistance. We aimed to investigate whether transthoracic pulmonary artery denervation (TPADN) attenuated pulmonary artery (PA) remodeling ...

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2008 Significant advances in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) have occurred over the last 10 years, starting with the approval of epoprostenol in 1998. Subsequently, multiple additional medications have received approval, including a subcutaneous prostacyclin, an inhaled prostacyclin, and oral medications in 2 separate classes.

Pulmonary Artery Denervation for Pulmonary Artery Hypertension
JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions, 2015 While the seminal advance in the treatment of pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) over the past 2 decades has been pharmacological targeting of dysfunctional endothelium-derived pathways that contribute to the characteristic vascular remodeling of this condition irrespective of etiology [(1)][1],

Dilatation of the Pulmonary Artery in Pulmonary Stenosis [PDF]
Circulation, 1956 Dilatation of the pulmonary artery occurs frequently in cases of valvular pulmonary stenosis and is often called "poststenotic." We determined the diameter of the pulmonary artery angiocardiographically and compared this with the data obtained by heart catheterization in cases of pulmonary stenosis and of idiopathic dilatation of the pulmonary artery ...

Pulmonary artery sarcoma [PDF]
Heart, 2003 A 38 year old man without any symptoms was referred to our hospital for examination of a heart murmur. There were signs of right ventricular overload on the ECG. Doppler echocardiographic measurements demonstrated a maximum pressure gradient of 105 mm Hg across the right ventricular outflow tract. …

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1984 Two hundred nine children with congenital heart defects characterized by excessive pulmonary blood flow underwent pulmonary artery banding at The Hospital for Sick Children from January, 1972, through December, 1982. The indications for banding, rather than complete repair, varied with the type of cardiac defect as well as with the year of presentation

Methodist DeBakey Cardiovascular Journal, 2010 Primary heart tumors are rare, and malignant primary heart tumors are only a small subset of these. Most primary malignant tumors are sarcomas arising from the cells of the structural elements of the heart such as blood vessels, muscle, connective tissue, fat and even bone.

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1975 Pulmonary artery sling is an uncommon and potentially lethal vascular anomaly that can produce airway obstruction. Despite the availability of a corrective operation, the mortality rate remains very high (50 per cent of surgically treated children) due to the high incidence of associated obstructive anormaliies of the tracheobronchial tree.
