Primary Pulmonary Artery Sarcoma: Surgical Management and Differential Diagnosis with Pulmonary Embolism and Pulmonary Valve Stenosis
Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 06/26/09
Hu XP et al. - Because of similar clinical features, pulmonary artery sarcomas are often confused with other pulmonary vascular obstructive diseases. Computed tomography scanning and gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging could be useful methods for differential diagnosis. The prognosis is very poor. The survival time after resection varies from several months to several years depending on the presence of recurrence or metastasis. Early diagnosis and radical surgical resection presents the only opportunity for a potential cure.
