Acquired supravalvular pulmonary stenosis due to extrinsic compression by a metastatic thymic carcinoid tumor.

M Lynch1, L S Blevins, R P Martin.   

Abstract

Acquired pulmonary artery stenosis is rare. There are two main types, firstly intrinsic disease of the pulmonary valve itself, such as carcinoid heart disease. Secondly, extrinsic compression of the pulmonary artery from a mediastinal structure. We report a case of acquired pulmonary supravalvular stenosis due to extrinsic compression by carcinoid mediastinal tumor, confirmed by echocardiographic imaging/Doppler interrogation and computerized tomography.
