A History Lesson: Pulmonary Vein Stenosis Erin A. Fender, MD, R. Jay Widmer, MD, PhD, Douglas L. Packer, MD, David R. Holmes, MD The American Journal of Medicine Volume 130, Issue 8, Pages 922-924 (August 2017) DOI: 10.1016/j.amjmed.2017.05.001 Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 Cross-sectional computed tomography disclosed patchy areas of consolidation with a nodular appearance in the right upper lobe. Associated diffuse ground-glass opacities, interlobular septal thickening, and bronchial wall thickening were noted as well. Borderline enlargement of the right paratracheal lymph nodes was also evident. The American Journal of Medicine 2017 130, 922-924DOI: (10.1016/j.amjmed.2017.05.001) Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc.

Figure 2 A 3-dimensional computed tomographic reconstruction demonstrated severe stenosis of the right superior pulmonary vein, with subtotal occlusion. The American Journal of Medicine 2017 130, 922-924DOI: (10.1016/j.amjmed.2017.05.001) Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions

Figure 3 Angiography of the right superior pulmonary vein was obtained at the time of the stenting procedure. (A) Before the intervention a tight stenosis was demonstrated in the right superior pulmonary vein. (B) After stent deployment, the vein was widely patent.
