“…In humans, acquired forms of PAS are less common than congenital forms. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Acquired PAS in humans has been reported secondary to extrinsic causes, including external compression by pulmonary or mediastinal neoplasia 13,18,19 and cysts 20 ; compression from aortic aneurysms, 21,22 infectious mediastinitis, 17 idiopathic pericarditis, 15 and pericardial calcification 23 ; intraluminal conditions such as neoplasia, 11,24 systemic vasculitides, 12,25 pulmonary thromboembolic disease, 26 and idiopathic fibrous intimal proliferation 16,27 ; and valvular abnormalities associated with rheumatic heart disease, 28 malignant carcinoid syndrome, 29 and infective endocarditis. 28 A report 9 of acquired PAS secondary to a heart-base tumor in a Boston Terrier was published approximately 40 years ago.…”

Pulmonary Artery Stenosis due to External Compression by a Calcified Pericardial Band

SUMMARYA 60-year-old male with exertional dyspnea was referred to our hospital. Right pulmonary artery stenosis due to external compression by a calcified band was diagnosed by echocardiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty was conducted in vain due to vascular recoil and failure of stent delivery. Pulmonary bypass grafting was performed successfully. The surgery indicated a probable etiology of chronic pericarditis. This is an extremely rare case of adult pulmonary artery stenosis without a known history of congenital disease, constrictive pericarditis, tuberculosis, or surgery. (Jpn Heart J 2004; 45: 527-533)

Balloon angioplasty and stent placement for pulmonary arterial stenoses in children are well-established therapies. In contrast, management of isolated peripheral pulmonary arterial stenoses in adults remains relatively unexplored. Four women (ages 18-63 years) with multiple discrete intralobar pulmonary arterial stenoses were treated with balloon angioplasty. Initially, 4-5 stenoses were dilated in each patient. The mean minimum diameter of the stenoses increased from 1.3 to 3.1 mm (P < 0.001), and the mean ratio of right ventricular to aortic systolic pressure decreased from 0.92 to 0.62 (P < 0.05). Each patient had marked symptomatic improvement. However, three patients developed recurrence of symptoms 4-24 months after angioplasty, and two had angiographic evidence of restenosis at previously dilated sites. These restenoses were treated with repeat angioplasty or stent implantation (three stents in each patient). One of these two patients developed near-occlusive restenosis of the stents and had successful bilateral lung transplantation. The other patient had a third catheterization with successful implantation of three additional stents. The third patient with recurrent symptoms died 2 years later, without further intervention. Transcutaneous catheter therapy for multiple intralobar pulmonary arterial stenoses in adults is highly successful acutely, but restenosis is common within several months. For some patients, balloon angioplasty and stent implantation may provide definitive management, while for others these procedures may serve as a bridge to lung transplantation.
