course of 594 diagnostic cardiac catheterizations. They occurred either alone: i6 cases (group I) or more often combined with congenital heart disease: IIO cases (group 2), about half of which were atrial septal defect. Angiographicfindings and pressure gradients were correlated in 33 cases. A minor gradient across thejunction of the main pulnonary artery with one of the branch pulmonary arteries wasfrequently present in patients with

Congenital Stenosis of the Pulmonary Artery Branches.
CONGENITAL stenosis of the pulmonary artery branches is an anomaly characterized by narrowed segments of one or more of the main or peripheral branches of the pulmonary artery. Such conditions lhave been variously labeled pulmonary coaretation,' peripheral pulmonary stenosis,2 and multiple peripheral stenoses 3 of the pulmonary artery. Several cases of this anomaly have appeared in the literatu...
متن کاملThe diagnosis of bilateral stenosis of the primary pulmonary artery branches based on characteristic pulmonary trunk pressure curves. A hemodynamic and angiocardiographic study.
IN 1938 Oppenheimer1 reported the first case of bilateral stenosis of the pulmonary main arteries diagnosed at autopsy. Since then several papers have been published describing clinical, cardiac catheterization, and angiocardiographic findings in both unilateral and bilateral stenosis of the pulmonary arteries.2-12 We are reporting cardiac catheterization and angiocardiographic findings in 12 p...
متن کاملEchocardiographic measurements of normal fetal pulmonary artery and pulmonary branches and comparison on fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
OBJECTIVE Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is one of the severe congenital pulmonary anomaly (PA) associated with pulmonary hypoplasia, pulmonary sequestration and severe respiratory distress. The aim of this study was to present difference between measurements of the size of fetal pulmonary artery and pulmonary branches (PB) in normal growth fetuses and comparison with the same in fetuses with ...

A THEROSCLEROSIS, fibrous proliferation, or primary dissecting aneurysm of main renal arteries or their primary branches may cause hypertension and can alter renal blood flow, filtration rate, sodium excretion, and water reabsorption." 2 Mechanisms of the changes in sodium and water transport are not fully understood; they may include decreases in intrarenal arterial pressure, glomerular filtra...
متن کاملGiant pulmonary artery aneurysm secondary to primary pulmonary hypertension.
A 19-year-old woman with a 2-year history of progressive dyspnea, dull aching chest pain, and hoarseness was referred to our institution for clinical evaluation. Her general physical examination was normal. Auscultation revealed a palpable systolic impulse in the 2nd left anterior intercostal space and a grade 2/6 systolic murmur at the lower left sternal border. Her chest radiograph showed car...
