Effects of Pulmonary Hypertension of the Tracheobronchial Tree

JESSE E. EDWARDS M.D.1 and HOWARD B. BURCHELL M.D.2

1 Section of Pathologic Anatomy
2 Section of Medicine

When elevation of left atrial pressure also is present, additional deformities occur. In children, the compressive effects of hypertensive pulmonary vessels may cause significant pulmonary complications.
