An infant with primary pulmonary vein stenosis, associated with fatal occlusion of intraparenchymal small pulmonary veins [PDF]
Primary pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is rare within the pediatric population and its pathophysiology remains unclear, especially as to how the histopathology relates to its refractoriness to treatment. We report the case of a 4-month-old girl with primary PVS.

A deleterious variant of FCHSD1 results in mTOR pathway overactivation and may cause porto‐sinusoidal vascular disorder (PSVD). The pedigree of the family demonstrated an autosomal dominant disease with variable expressivity. Whole‐genome sequencing and Sanger sequencing both validated the existence of the FCHSD1 variant and the heterozygosity of c ...

Correlation of inflammatory and proangiogenic cytokines from undiluted vitreous samples with spectral domain OCT scans, in untreated branch retinal vein occlusion [PDF]
Purpose: To assess the levels of inflammatory and angiogenic cytokines in undiluted vitreous from treatment-naïve patients with macular edema secondary to nonischemic branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO), with flow cytometric bead array (CBA) and to ...

Pulmonary Vein Occlusion/Stenosis After Pulmonary Vein Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]
In this issue of the Journal. Ernst et al.1 report three cases of total pulmonary vein (PV) occlusion in 239 patients who underwent an ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation (AF). Patients initially were evaluated by internists and pulmonologists and underwent extensive evaluation before the diagnosis was finally made.

Correlation from undiluted vitreous cytokines of untreated central retinal vein occlusion with spectral domain optical coherence tomography [PDF]
Purpose: To correlate inflammatory and proangiogenic key cytokines from undiluted vitreous of treatment-naïve central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) patients with SD-OCT parameters. Methods: Thirty-five patients (age 71.1 years, 24 phakic, 30 nonischemic)

Repair of iatrogenic pulmonary vein occlusion with a vascularized atrial flap [PDF]
AbstractPulmonary vein obstruction is a rare condition, most commonly reported following pulmonary vein catheter ablation for atrial arrhythmia. This novel technique for treatment of pulmonary venous obstruction has the advantage of utilizing an autologous vascularized flap with intact endothelium for reconstruction of the pulmonary vein and to prevent
