  • Title: Left hilar mass in a 62-year-old man: severe pulmonary valvular stenosis with a poststenotic aneurysm.
    Author: Rumbak MJ, Scott M, Walsh FW.
    Journal: South Med J; 1996 Aug; 89(8):824-5. PubMed ID: 8701387.
    Abstract:
    We describe a patient who had a left hilar mass initially diagnosed as probable bronchogenic carcinoma. When a paradoxic arterial embolus led to further investigation, the hilar mass was found to be a poststenotic dilatation due to a severe pulmonary valve stenosis. Percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty of the pulmonary valve was successfully done, and the patient is well 2 years after the procedure.
