Varicosity of the pulmonary veins is a rare anomaly of the pulmonary vascular system. The varices do not usually change in size over years, do not cause symptoms and need no therapy. However, raised left atrial pressure can cause increase in the diameter of pulmonary vein varices. A case of lung vein varicosity in the right middle and upper lobe associated with coarctation of the aorta and an anomalous upper-middle lobe vein was observed over a period of 10 years. Increase in left atrial pressure (aortic and relative mitral regurgitation) led to enlargement of the pulmonary veins.
肺静脉曲张是一种罕见的肺血管系统异常。这些曲张通常多年来大小不变，不引起症状，无需治疗。然而，左心房压力升高可导致肺静脉曲张直径增加。观察到一例右中、上叶肺静脉曲张合并主动脉缩窄及中上叶静脉异常的病例，为期10年。左心房压力升高（主动脉瓣和相对性二尖瓣反流）导致肺静脉扩张。
