Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease as a cause of pulmonary arterial hypertension

Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2015 Jul;28(3):350-2. doi: 10.1080/08998280.2015.11929271.

Abstract

Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD) represents a rare form of precapillary pulmonary arterial hypertension. We present a young patient hospitalized with progressive dyspnea, with initial workup suggestive of pulmonary hypertension and unexplained noncardiogenic pulmonary edema. His subsequent clinical course was consistent with the diagnosis of PVOD.
