Cover Story: Pediatric intraluminal pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS), characterized by relentless narrowing of pulmonary veins, impairs pulmonary venous return, causing substantial morbidity and mortality. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) to visualize vein lumen and wall in suspected PVS has been reported, but integration with corresponding histologic findings has not been previously pursued. The present study correlated IVUS with histologic findings in pediatric patients with PVS. IVUS demonstrated wall thickening with up to two layers of variable echogenicity; the inner layer correlated histologically with fibroblastic proliferation characteristic of PVS. The data demonstrate that IVUS can provide further understanding of PVS anatomy, with potential diagnostic utility. View this paper
