چکیده
Pulmonary angiogram of chronic pulmonary embolism. A 31-year-old man with progressive dyspnea and clinical evidence of pulmonary hypertension had right heart pressures as follows: right atrium, 12; right ventricle, = 98/18; pulmonary artery, 90/40; mean, 65; and pulmonary capillary wedge, 8 mm Hg. The contrast pulmonary angiogram shows occlusion of the descending left pulmonary artery and 80% stenosis of the anterior segmental pulmonary artery of the left upper lobe. 31
