“…Both patients didn't show any symptoms such as hemoptysis, recurrent infection, or cardiac problems, which contrasts with the cases of infants and young children reported upon by Cullen et al (2). Compared with the case of severe pulmonary stenosis reported by Saida et al (4), there was no vestige of the affected pulmonary vein in our first case.…”

“…One adult case of severe stenosis of an individual pulmonary vein was reported (8). The findings of the report indicated a markedly narrowed ostium of the inferior pulmonary vein near the left atrium, which appeared as a thin string-like vestige structure on CT. Angiography demonstrated a tortuous vessel ascending the cephalad during the delayed phase as a collateral pathway (4). …”

“…Only a few cases of individual pulmonary vein atresia in infants and young children have been reported (2). Severe individual pulmonary vein stenosis was previously observed in a 28-year-old man in whom a markedly narrowed ostium of the inferior pulmonary vein near the left atrium and appeared as a thin string-like vestige structure on CT (4). …”

Individual Pulmonary Vein Atresia in Adults: Report of Two Cases

2011

We present two cases of individual pulmonary vein atresia without vestige of an involved pulmonary vein. On CT, we noted the absence or interruption of normal pulmonary venous structures, and the presence of abnormal vascular structures that represented collaterals for the involved lung parenchyma. On angiography, the atretic pulmonary vein was found to drain into the other ipsilateral pulmonary veins through the collaterals.

“…The collateral vessels development after PV obstruction has been reported in several adult patients. 4,5 However, there have been no studies demonstrating the mechanism by which collateral vessels form. Formation of collateral vessels may be influenced by individual predispositions, as well as the presence of vascular growth factors.…”

Development of acquired intrapulmonary venous anastomosis contributing to establishment of Fontan circulation

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Pulmonary venous (PV) obstruction is associated with a poor prognosis, as well as a high risk of recurrence, following surgical treatment. It can also interfere with the successful completion of Fontan circulation in patients with complex congenital heart disease. A case of a patient who had right isomerism (also known as asplenia syndrome), total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC), and a single right ventricle is presented. Although bilateral total occlusion of the inferior PVs was identified postoperatively, the formation of the anastomosis and collateral vessels into the superior and middle PVs enabled successful completion of Fontan circulation. Anastomoses and collateral flow of the PVs were found largely in the interlobar pleura and not in the lung parenchyma.

“…Only a few cases of the pulmonary vein passing through the interlobular fissure have been reported by Kumazoe et al 4) and Hanson et al 5) The diagnosis of an abnormal blood vessel passing through the lung parenchyma and then thoracic cavity is important because it may cause hemothorax. 6,7) Only one case of varix accompanied by pulmonary venous occlusion diagnosed by angiography has previously been reported, 8) and no case directly imaged by multislice CT has been reported. There is no sex difference in the incidence of pulmonary varix, and it can be observed at any age, but acquired cases accompanying heart disease increases with aging.…”

A Case of Pulmonary Varix Associated with Superior Pulmonary Vein Occlusion

A pulmonary varix is a localized dilatation of a pulmonary vein, which is usually asymptomatic presented as a mass on a chest roentgenogram, and diagnosed with pulmonary angiography. We encountered a case of 55 year-old man, in whom incidentally identified was a dilated blood vessel that passed through the minor fissure and returned to the inferior pulmonary vein, which we diagnosed as pulmonary varix. This vascular anomaly was accompanied by the occluded superior pulmonary vein, highly suggestive of the developmental mechanism of this disease.
