Pulmonary vein stenosis is a rare congenital disease that effects children, and the prognosis is poor in most of the patients. Stenosis of the individual pulmonary veins, rst described by Reve [1] is uncommon. It is characterized by congenital extrapulmonary obstruction and leads to signicant alteration of pulmonary structure and function. An angiography will typically be able to conrm the diagnosis. When there is a history of recurrent lung infections, Dyspnea, Failure to thrive, Hemoptysis, or Pulmonary Hypertension that cannot be explained, stenosis of particular veins should be examined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
