Alveolar capillary dysplasia (ACD) with misalignment of pulmonary veins (MPV) is a lethal neonatal lung disease. Death from ACD/MPV is caused by hypoxia, but the role of the MPV is unknown. Using 3-dimensional reconstruction of ACD/MPV lung tissue, we report that the veins in MPV are intrapulmonary shunt vessels, and speculate that MPV contributes to the poor prognosis.
肺泡毛细血管发育不良(ACD)伴肺静脉异位(MPV)是一种致命的新生儿肺部疾病。ACD/MPV 导致的死亡是由缺氧引起的,但 MPV 的作用尚不清楚。通过对 ACD/MPV 肺部组织的三维重建,我们报告了 MPV 中的静脉是肺内分流血管,并推测 MPV 导致了不良预后。
