  • Title: [Acquired infundibular pulmonary stenosis. Possible late complication following radiotherapy of Hodgkin disease].
    Author: Rummeny E, Hausen W, Lorbacher P, Willems D.
    Journal: Z Kardiol; 1984 Oct; 73(10):641-5. PubMed ID: 6542732.
    Abstract:
    A case of infundibular pulmonary stenosis occurring years after a mediastinal radiation for Hodgkin's disease is reported. As far as the literature is known to us, a similar case has not yet been described. It is most likely that the development of the stenosis is due to the radiation therapy, since a murmur was not heard before radiation and a mild stenosis was proved several years after radiation. Now, a high gradient with the typical signs of an infundibular pulmonary stenosis was present. Unfortunately the patient refused the operation. Further possibilities for acquired pulmonary stenosis and cardial complications after mediastinal radiation for Hodgkin's disease will be discussed.
