Pulmonary vein stenosis and the pathophysiology of “upstream” pulmonary veins
The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2014 Surgical and catheter-based interventions on pulmonary veins are associated with pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS), which can progress diffusely through the "upstream" pulmonary veins. The mechanism has been rarely studied. We used a porcine model of PVS to assess disease progression with emphasis on the potential role of endothelial-mesenchymal transition
