Pulmonary vein thrombosis
Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
Pulmonary vein thrombosis is a rare but potentially serious condition that can occur in various situations.
Clinical presentation
Often the signs and symptoms are nonspecific and can range from being acute (pulmonary infarction) to more insidious (progressive or recurrent pulmonary oedema). Patients may have dyspnoea, haemoptysis, chest pain, fever and/orhypoxaemia.
Pathology
Aetiology
Pulmonary vein thrombosis can have various cause which include
- intrapulmonary neoplasm - considered most frequent cause 1
- surgical complications of lung transplantation or lobectomy 6
- complication of radiofrequency ablation
- fibrosing mediastinitis
- mitral stenosis with a left atrial clot
- hilar torsion 3
- idiopathic - in hypercoagulable states
Treatment and prognosis
Anticoagulation use is thought to be doubtful in terms of clinical outcome but may avoid clot development in the left atrium and possibly promote recanalisation of the affected pulmonary vein 3.
