Bilateral pulmonary artery stenosis associated with pericarditis. Results of surgery and follow-up by magnetic resonance imaging.
Reported is a patient with bilateral pulmonary artery stenosis which developed concurrently with an episode of idiopathic pericarditis. This association has been unreported previously. The stenosis was corrected surgically. Postoperatively, magnetic resonance imaging was used to follow the status of the pulmonary arteries serially.
