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)
However, owing to the differences in pathology and response to PAH-specific therapy, it was classified in a unique group 1 in the pulmonary hypertension classification in 2009. (medscape.com)
The plexiform arterial lesions seen in patients with primary pulmonary hypertension, or idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), are absent, although some arterial medial thickening may occur. (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.

Pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) is defined as a sustained elevation of PAP ≥ 25 mmHg at rest or ≥30 mmHg with exercise, with a mean pulmonary-capillary wedge pressure and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure of ≥15 mmHg ( 1 ). (jrenhep.com)
Arterial pressure1
In 1961, a report of the World Health Organization (WHO) Expert Committee on Chronic Cor Pulmonale mentioned clearly that the mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) does not normally exceed 15 mmHg when the subject is at rest in a lying position, and that the value was little affected by age and never exceeded 20 mmHg [ 1 ].
