PVOD16
- Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD) is one of the less commonly encountered causes of pulmonary hypertension . (medscape.com)
- Some reports suggest that PVOD accounts for 5-20% of cases classified as idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). (medscape.com)
- In the past, PVOD has been described by various terms, such as pulmonary venous sclerosis, obstructive disease of the pulmonary veins, or the venous form of primary pulmonary hypertension. (medscape.com)
- Regardless of the mechanism of injury, the end result in pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD) is constriction and/or occlusion of the pulmonary veins and venules. (medscape.com)
- The exact etiology of pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD) remains largely unknown. (medscape.com)
- Some cases of pulmonary hypertension in the setting of mixed connective disease and scleroderma , including the CREST (calcinosis, Raynaud phenomenon, esophageal dysmotility, sclerodactyly, and telangiectasia) variant, have been known to have a histopathology consistent with that of PVOD. (medscape.com)
