In clinical practice, the presence of wheezing generally indicates an airway disease. In rare circumstances, adjacent mediastinal structures may compress the tracheobronchial tree leading to obstructive physiology. Compression of the tracheobronchial region by an enlarged pulmonary artery (PA) is exceedingly rare. We present here a case of pulmonary hypertension, where the enlarged PA resulted in obstructive lung physiology with a relevant review of the literature.
在临床实践中，喘息的出现通常提示气道疾病。在罕见情况下，邻近纵隔结构可能压迫气管支气管树，导致阻塞性生理改变。肺动脉（PA）增粗压迫气管支气管区域极为罕见。我们在此报告一例肺动脉高压病例，该病例中增粗的肺动脉导致阻塞性肺生理改变，并对相关文献进行综述。
