Idiopathic Dilatation of the Pulmonary Artery
IDIOPATHIC dilatation of the pulmonary artery has been recognized as a clinical entity since 1923, when WTessler and Jaches described the first case.' Since dilatation of the pulmonary artery is frequent in many congenital as well as acquired heart lesions, differentiation of this benign anomaly from the latter group is of prime importance. With advances in knowledge of congenital heart disease...
متن کامل[Idiopathic dilatation of the pulmonary artery].
Idiopathic dilatation of the pulmonary artery is an uncommon cause of a large main pulmonary artery whose diagnosis is dependent on the exclusion of other causes of central pulmonary artery dilatation. We present four new cases who have been known to have large central pulmonary arteries for many years, and suggest that a long period of observation should be considered to be a further criterion...
متن کامل[Dilatation of the pulmonary artery in pulmonary stenosis].
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 angiocardio-graphically and compared this with the data obtained by heart catheterization in cases of pulmonary stenosis and of idiopathic dilatation of the pulmonary artery. Features are presented which constitute ar...
متن کاملAneurysmal dilatation of the pulmonary trunk with mild pulmonic stenosis.
We present the unusual case of a 72-year-old woman whose chest X-ray showed an abnormal left hilar shadow. A pulmonary angiogram revealed an aneurysm in the pulmonary artery with a diameter of 55 mm that extended from the main pulmonary trunk to its bifurcation. Mild pulmonic stenosis with a systolic pressure gradient of 18 mmHg across the pulmonic valve was recognized. Mild dilatation of the a...
متن کاملPulmonary artery aneurysm in an adult patient with idiopathic dilatation of the pulmonary artery
Idiopathic dilatation of the pulmonary artery (IDPA) is a rare congenital heart disease. It has been described for almost one hundred years, and numerous definitions have been proposed. The IDPA diagnostic criteria have not been updated for years. Secondary to primary disease, pulmonary artery aneurism was recognised as a lethal defect; however, long-term follow-up of patients with IDPA has not...
