Sarcoidosis complicated with major pulmonary artery obstruction and stenosis.
A 34-year-old woman with bilateral pulmonary infiltrates was diagnosed with sarcoidosis. She refused corticosteroid treatment despite a worsening of the pulmonary infiltrate, and thereafter developed dyspnea following hemoptysis 6 years later. The upper lobe branches of the pulmonary artery were obstructed and the left main pulmonary artery was narrowed by mediastinal soft tissue, thus complica...

provided the original work is properly cited. CC A large mediastinal mass directly compressing the pulmonary arteries and the tracheobronchial trees may be associated with severe ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) mismatch. There have been some reports in the literature of sudden collapse involving mediastinal masses, possibly caused by the mass impinging on the pulmonary artery and the contralateral ...
متن کاملMediastinal huge non-Hodgkin's lymphoma causing compression of the main pulmonary artery trunk.
DESCRIPTION A 24-year-old man presented with dyspnoea on exertion. Chest x-ray showed an enlargement of the upper anterior mediastinum (figure 1A). Chest CT showed a huge mass with the size of 7.6×4.8 cm in the upper anterior mediastinum (figure 1B). This mass compressed the main pulmonary artery trunk (MPA) and the left pulmonary artery. Transthoracic two-dimensional echocardiography also reve...
متن کاملThe Extracardiac Anastomoses of the Coronary Arteries
Widespread anastomoses of the auricular branches and the coronary branches to the pericardial fat with the pericardiacophrenic branches of the internal mammary arteries and the anterior mediastinal, pericardial, bronchial, superior and inferior phrenic, intercostal and esophageal branches of the aorta have been described. The most extensive anastomoses between the cardiac and extracardiac vesse...
متن کاملAccelerated coronary vascular disease in the heart transplant patient: coronary arteriographic findings.
Annual coronary arteriograms have been obtained from all heart transplant recipients at Stanford University Medical Center since 1969. Angiographic lesions in 81 transplant patients exhibiting coronary vascular disease were classified into three categories: type A, discrete or tubular stenoses; type B, diffuse concentric narrowing; and type C, narrowed irregular vessels with occluded branches. ...
