Ductus arteriosus wave intensity analysis in fetal lambs: midsystolic ductal flow augmentation is due to antegrade pulmonary arterial wave transmission.

17 Aug 2009 In midsystole, fetal pulmonary trunk (PT) and arterial (PA) blood flows characteristically fall, despite pulmonary blood pressure increasing, while ductus arteriosus (DA) flow continues to rise to a delayed peak. Wave intensity (WI) analysis ... Read more...

Development and pathology of pulmonary hypertension.

28 Jun 2009 The Development and Pathology working group was charged with reviewing the present knowledge, gaps in understanding, and areas for further studies in a broad range of themes. These themes in pulmonary vascular biology and pathobiology involved: 1) ... Read more...

[Retrotracheal left pulmonary artery: case report with an embryologic and anatomic update]

16 Jun 2009 The accidental discovery of a retrotracheal left pulmonary artery in a 4-month-old infant encouraged us to review the various embryologic theories concerning this very rare anomaly and perform an anatomic update in order to better define surgical ... Read more...
