Objective: Unusual clinical course Background: Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is a rare event following lung transplantation, but is a serious complication that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. Case Report: We describe the case of a 60-year-old woman who underwent single-lung transplantation for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). One year following her single-lung transplant, she was a...

Electrocardiography (ECG) is an auxiliary test applied for differential diagnosis of Pulmonary Thromboembolism (PTE). However, its specificity low, but it more often used diagnosis. Although there are some changes on ECG in PTE, ST elevation not a finding that we expect to see. With this case report, aimed draw attention the issue with PTE patient ECG. 52-year-old male presented emergency depar...

A12-month-old child was evaluated for pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect. Assessment of the whole arterial pulmonary arborization was first done by angiography. This examination revealed that the left lung received vascularization by the native pulmonary artery via a central shunt performed during the neonatal period and by 2 aortopulmonary collateral arteries. The positions of th...

Introduction: Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a curable and partially preventable complication, with a substantial incidence, leading to severe morbidity and mortality. The aim of the present study was to find out the incidence of CTEPH secondary to acute pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) using non-invasive procedures such as ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) scintigraphy and p...

Two cases of anomalous systemic arterial supply to the basal segments of the lower lobe of the left lung without sequestration are presented. In the first case, the final diagnosis was made during a surgical operation, and lobectomy of the lower lobe of the left lung was performed. In the second case, the preoperative diagnosis made by CT was confirmed by angiography. An anastomosis was perform...

She had a history of pulmonary tuberculosis. High-resolution CT scan showed a completely destroyed right lung with fibrocavitatory changes (f...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Computed tomography angiography plays a major role in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism. Radiation dose associated with it is a major concern; therefore it is important to optimize protocols and techniques to ensure minimum radiation dose. METHODS The study compares two protocols i. Conventional Timing Bolus CT protocol and Delayed Timing Bolus protocol used to assi...

A 33-year-old woman with a history of psoriasis presented with asymmetric oligoarthritis. She had no cardiovascular symptoms. Naproxen and steroids were started with the diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis. Routine chest X-ray showed a small left hemithorax with a right-sided aortic arch and decreased left-sided pulmonary vasculature. A CTscan (Picture A) demonstrated the absence of the left pulmo...
