Pulmonary arterial diameter remains dilated despite a reduction of pulmonary arterial pressure post lung transplantation: a retrospective study
In contrast to some previous reports suggesting vascular remodeling post-LTx, our findings suggest that PA diameter may remain dilated in some PH patients, even after normalization of pulmonary pressures. This could reflect the presence of structural changes that are less responsive to hemodynamic improvements and warrants a careful interpretation of persistent PA dilation on chest CTs following LTx.
