Peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis in three cats
نویسندگان
چکیده
Case 1 involved a 4-month-old intact male Somali cat in which peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis (PPS) was recognized after a cardiac murmur remained following patent ductus arteriosus ligation. Case 2, which involved a 1-year-old neutered male Norwegian Forest cat, and Case 3, which involved a 6-month-old intact female American Curl cat, were referred, because of cardiac murmurs. Grades III to IV/VI systolic heart murmurs were auscultated at the left heart base in all 3 cats. All cases showed bilateral pulmonary artery stenosis, although there were no associated clinical signs. In Cases 1 and 2, the pressure gradient through the stenosis decreased after treatment with atenolol.

PERIPHERAL pulmonary artery stenosis is being recognized with increasing frequency.1-3 Several observers4-6 have stressed the presence of a continuous murmur as a diagnostic feature, and continuous murmurs have been experimentally produced by graded constriction of a large branch of the pulmonary artery in dogs.5 This is the case report of an infant with severe multiple peripheral pulmonary art...
متن کاملSurgical Techniques for Repair of Peripheral Pulmonary Artery Stenosis.
Peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis is a rare form of congenital heart disease frequently associated with Williams and Alagille syndromes. Patients with this disease typically have systemic level right ventricular pressures secondary to obstruction at the lobar, segmental, and subsegmental branches. The current management of patients with peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis remains somewhat c...

After having undergone surgical correction at an early age, many patients with tetralogy of Fallot develop long-term complications including progressive pulmonary regurgitation and peripheral pulmonary stenosis. A high percentage of these patients need to undergo a second operation in their adolescence or early adulthood. If simultaneous treatment of both pulmonary regurgitation and peripheral ...
متن کاملCongenital 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 natural course of supravalvar aortic stenosis and peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis in Williams's syndrome.
The haemodynamic findings from two serial cardiac catheterisations in ten patients with Williams's syndrome were reviewed. The median ages at study were one and nine years. Raised mean (SD) left ventricular peak systolic pressures associated with supravalvar aortic stenosis increased significantly with time from 121 (25) mm Hg to 153 (29) mm Hg. The peak systolic pressure drop between the left ...
