Recognize this rare PH mechanism in cancer patients; leaves open prospective studies on incidence and interventions.
Highlights a rare etiology of pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular failure driven by metastatic carcinomatous lymphangitis and obliterative endarteritis.
Edward B. Greenspan (1934) conducted a review in Carcinomatous endarteritis of the pulmonary vessels and right ventricular failure. Diffuse metastatic carcinomatous lymphangitis was evaluated on Right ventricular cardiac failure. Diffuse metastatic carcinomatous lymphangitis is associated with widespread obliterative endarteritis of the pulmonary vessels, leading to right ventricular hypertrophy and failure.
