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

Pulmonary vein stenosis due to pulmonary lymphoma in a cat. [PDF]
J Vet Med SciA six-year-old spayed female domestic shorthair presented with a one-month history of respiratory distress. Echocardiography showed a large lesion adjacent to the left atrium that was compressing the pulmonary vein. Peak pulmonary venous flow velocity was high (1.5 m/sec). The diagnosis was pulmonary vein stenosis due to mass compression.

Extrapulmonic Stenosis of the Pulmonary Veins [PDF]
Circulation, 1959 A case is reported of a 6-year-old boy who had developed pulmonary hypertension because of obstruction to the pulmonary venous flow by severe stenosis of the pulmonary veins at their junction with the left atrium. The development of collateral circulation through the bronchial vessels led to early, severe hemoptysis.

Combination Chemotherapy in Severe Pulmonary Vein Stenosis—A Case Series
, 2023 Pulmonary vein stenosis results from a proliferative process that leads to the progressive obstruction of venous return to the left atrium. It is often resistant to catheterization and surgical based interventions and is frequently fatal when encountered

Pulmonary Vein Stenosis in a Newborn: A Commonly Overlooked Diagnosis [PDF]
, 2015 The diagnosis of primary pulmonary vein stenosis is often overlooked because its symptoms overlap lung diseases and pulmonary arterial hypertension. Its diagnosis may be difficult because the condition is progressive and associated with other defects. We

Prognostic Significance of Computed Tomography Findings in Pulmonary Vein Stenosis
, 2021 (1) Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) can be a severe, progressive disease with lung involvement. We aimed to characterize findings by computed tomography (CT) and identify factors associated with death; (2) Veins and lung segments were classified into five ...

Asymptomatic Pulmonary Vein Stenosis: Hemodynamic Adaptation and Successful Ablation [PDF]
, 2016 Pulmonary vein stenosis is a well-established possible complication following an atrial fibrillation ablation of pulmonary veins. Symptoms of pulmonary vein stenosis range from asymptomatic to severe exertional dyspnea.
