Pulmonary vein stenosis

Human Pathology, 1995
Pulmonary 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 made at autopsy in the third case.

Primary Pulmonary Vein Stenosis

The American Journal of Cardiology, 2007
Primary pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is a rare entity with a high mortality rate. Relatively little is known regarding predictors of outcome or the appropriate timing of intervention. The Pediatric Cardiac Care Consortium database (n = 98,126) was searched for patients who had undergone cardiac catheterization or surgical procedures with primary ...

Congenital pulmonary vein stenosis

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1984
Congenital pulmonary vein stenosis is a rare and serious form of congenital heart disease. Between 1969 and 1982 10 patients with this lesion were studied. In 2 patients the condition was diagnosed at autopsy; these patients died before the presence of congenital heart disease was suspected.

Interventions for Pulmonary Vein Stenosis

Interventional Cardiology Clinics
Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is a rare and unique disease of infants and young children. PVS is attended by high morbidity and mortality, and for many decades, effective therapy eluded the practitioner. However, in the most recent era, interventional techniques when employed in combination with systemic (primary) therapy have had a remarkable impact ...

The pulmonary veins in mitral stenosis

Journal of the Faculty of Radiologists, 1958
Summary Engorgement of the upper lobe veins and narrowing of lower lobe veins are demonstrated in patients with mitral stenosis. Grading of engorgement of the upper lobe veins is discussed, and its h˦modynamic significance is investigated. The radiological observations are explained by a new hypothesis.

Congenital localized stenosis of the pulmonary veins

Pediatric Radiology, 1975
One case of localized stenosis of the extrapulmonary portion of pulmonary veins is reported in a 3 years old child. The chest X-Ray showed a rounded and pulsatile opacification over the right hilum and on angiocardiography the right superior pulmonary vein looked very dilated.

Stenosis of pulmonary veins in Down syndrome

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, 1992
ABSTRACT Two patients with Down syndrome, intracardiac communications and elevated pulmonary arteriolar resistance presented early in life. Both patients had significant stenosis of pulmonary veins. The progressive nature of the stenosis is illustrated in one patient. Pulmonary venous stenosis in Down syndrome has been recorded only twice before in the

Morphologic features of stenosis of the pulmonary veins

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1988
Abstract Congenital stenosis of the pulmonary veins is a rare abnormality causing progressive pulmonary hypertension and cardiac failure in childhood. 1 Prognosis is generally bleak despite attempts at surgical repair 2,3 and, more recently, transvenous balloon dilatation. 4,5 Initial relief has usually been followed by recurrence.

Stenosis of the Individual Pulmonary Veins

Radiology, 1966
In the evaluation of patients with pulmonary hypertension, the etiology is usually apparent: in most instances, it is acquired or congenital heart disease, pulmonary disease, etc. A small group of cases in which the cause is not readily apparent, however, are usually termed “idiopathic.” Such would have been the diagnosis in a 6-year-old boy seen by ...
