Angiographic flow and artery size may gauge pulmonary hypertension severity in mitral stenosis; leaves open incremental prognostic value beyond hemodynamics.
How do pulmonary angiographic findings correlate with hemodynamic data in patients with mitral stenosis?
Pulmonary blood flow redistribution and pulmonary artery size on angiography in mitral stenosis are primarily a function of pulmonary artery hypertension and increased pulmonary arteriolar resistance.
Sidd et al. (1967) studied this question.
