Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a progressive and severe disorder in pulmonary hemodynamics. PH can be fatal if not well managed. Fibrosing mediastinitis (FM) is a rare and benign fibroproliferative disease in the mediastinum, which may lead to pulmonary vessel compression and PH. PH caused by FM (PH-FM) is a pathologic condition belonging to group 5 in the World Health Organization PH classification. PH-FM has a poor prognosis because of a lack of effective therapeutic modalities and inappropriate diagnosis. With the development of percutaneous pulmonary vascular interventional therapy, the prognosis of PH-FM has been greatly improved in recent years. This article provides a comprehensive review on the epidemiology, pathophysiologic characteristics, clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and treatment modalities of PH-FM based on data from published reports and our medical center with the goal of facilitating the diagnosis and treatment of this fatal disease.
肺动脉高压(PH)是一种肺血流动力学方面的进行性严重疾病。若管理不善,PH可能会致命。纤维性纵隔炎(FM)是纵隔内一种罕见的良性纤维增生性疾病,可导致肺血管受压及PH。由FM引起的PH(PH-FM)是世界卫生组织PH分类中第5组的一种病理状态。由于缺乏有效的治疗方式及诊断不当,PH-FM预后较差。随着经皮肺血管介入治疗的发展,近年来PH-FM的预后有了很大改善。本文基于已发表报告及我们医疗中心的数据,对PH-FM的流行病学、病理生理特征、临床表现、诊断方法及治疗方式进行全面综述,目的是促进对这种致命疾病的诊断和治疗。
