[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 کاملMassive dilatation of the pulmonary artery in association with pulmonic stenosis and pulmonary hypertension
Congenital pulmonary valve stenosis has been associated with the development of massive pulmonary arterial (PA) dilatation. Over time, this dilatation may distort surrounding structures and lead to compression of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) or the left mainstem bronchus. In this report, we describe a patient with a history of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and co...
متن کاملIdiopathic 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 کاملPulmonary artery stenosis.
SINCE the description by Mbller' in 1953 of stenosis of peripheral pulmonary arteries, this congenital lesion has been recognized with increasing frequency. The lesion is of interest both from a clinical and physiologic standpoint. From the latter standpoint, there is sufficient documentation to warrant the inclusion of this congenital anomaly as one of the causes of right ventricular hypertens...
