Pulmonary Agenesis and Hypoplasia.
In recent years the more frequent use of x-rays has revealed various congenital abnormalities of the lungs which had formerly passed undetected during life, since the clinical signs and symptoms may be minimal. An attempt is made here to elucidate the different pictures which may be seen in varying degrees of underdevelopment of the lungs. For clarity of description the following nomenclature i...
متن کاملTHE EFFECTS OF CAPTOPRIL ON PULMONARY AND SYS TEMIC ARTERIAL PRESSURES IN HIGHALTITUDE PULMONARY HYPERTENSION
The purpose of this investigation was to assess the effect of captopril on both systemic (P.a) and pulmonary arterial pressures (PPA) in patients with high-altitude pulmonary hypertension (HAPH). Seventeen patients (mean age 44±6.8 years) with HAPH and mild to moderate systemic arterial hypertension were included in the study. All patients underwent right heart catheterization with measurem...
متن کاملLung hypoplasia in congenital pulmonary valve stenosis.
The pulmonary function of ten adult patients with congenital pulmonary valvular stenosis was investigated. The patients clearly showed smaller lungs than healthy control subjects of equivalent age and height; lung elastic recoil pressure was normal at any given percentage of measured total lung capacity, indicating that postnatal parenchymal damage is not the cause of the small lungs. The lung ...
متن کاملPulmonary hypoplasia in Jarcho-Levin syndrome.
Jarcho-Levin syndrome, also known as spondylothoracic dysplasia and characterized by short trunk dwarfism, "crab-like" rib cage, with ribs and vertebral defects; it is not uncommon in Puerto Ricans. Many patients die in early infancy due to respiratory compromise associated to lung restriction and the reported cases emphasize mostly the skeletal malformations associated to the syndrome. We repo...
متن کاملEfficacy of the 'intrapulmonary-artery septation' surgical approach for Fontan candidates with unilateral pulmonary arterial hypoplasia†.
OBJECTIVES The bilaterally unbalanced development of pulmonary arteries (PAs), as a result of unilateral pulmonary arterial hypoplasia (PAhypo) makes patients either ineligible for the Fontan operation or candidates for the one-lung Fontan operation. In the present study, we examined the efficacy of intrapulmonary-artery septation (IPAS), a technique we reported in 2007 in which a septation is ...
