Septal Lines in Pulmonary Venous Hypertension
نویسنده
چکیده
PIROGRESS in the surgical management of congenital and acquired cardiovascular diseases has stimulated many branches of medicine. Roentgenology of the cardiov-as(ular system is one of the diagnostic fields that has profited by these advances. One of the interesting and curious findings in roentgenogramis of the thorax of patients with mitral heart disease has been the presence of fine, short, straight linear densities in the costophrenic regions (figs. 1 and 2). Although these lines are not specific for mitral heart disease, their preponderant presence in this condition stimulated us to review the roentgenograms at the MIayo Clinic of 152 surgical cases of mitral stenosis.

Pulmonary artery thrombi detected by echocardiography in patients with pulmonary hypertension secondary to atrial septal defect.
This report presents three patients with severe pulmonary hypertension secondary to atrial septal defect associated with thrombus and spontaneous echo contrast within the pulmonary artery diagnosed by transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography. Clinical and echocardiographic features seem to suggest local thrombus formation within the pulmonary arteries as a direct consequence of pulmo...
متن کاملStenosis of pulmonary veins with ventricular septal defect. A cause of premature pulmonary hypertension in infancy.
Pulmonary vein stenosis is recognised as a rare, silent cause of pulmonary hypertension. ' The condition can occur with or without intracardiac anomalies. '3 The presence of lesions, such as ventricular septal defect, which cause pulmonary hypertension in their own right, can make suspicion of associated pulmonary venous obstruction difficult. In only one of the four reported cases4-7 of ventri...
متن کاملBMPR2 mutations in pulmonary arterial hypertension with congenital heart disease.
The aim of the present study was to determine if patients with both pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), due to pulmonary vascular obstructive disease, and congenital heart defects (CHD), have mutations in the gene encoding bone morphogenetic protein receptor (BMPR)-2. The BMPR2 gene was screened in two cohorts: 40 adults and 66 children with PAH/CHD. CHDs were patent ductus arteriosus, atria...

متن کاملCor Triatriatum Sinistrum Presenting as Cyanotic Congenital Heart Disease A Rare Case Report
Cor triatriatum is an acyanotic congenital heart disease. We present a rare case of cor triatriatum sinistrum in a 6-month-old female infant who was presented with cyanosis and failure to thrive. The 2D transthoracic echocardiography and the Doppler color flow imaging showed a proximal venous chamber communicating to the distal left atrium through restrictive opening to the low-pressure, dis...
متن کامل[Clinical utility of computed tomography in diagnosing sinus venosus atrial septal defect].
We present a case of 51-year-old patient after surgical closure of atrial septal defect several years ago. Enlarged right ventricle, right atrium and pulmonary hypertension were found on routine transthoracic echocardiography. Transesophageal echocardiography revealed sinus venosus atrial septal defect. Partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage was suspected. Only the computed tomography with...
