Correlation of Intravascular Ultrasound with Histology in Pediatric Pulmonary Vein Stenosis

Ryan Callahan, Zachary Gauthier, Shuhei Toba, Stephen P. Sanders, Diego Porras, Sara O. VargasBoston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School.United States ChildrenChildren 2021; 8: DOI: 10.3390/children8030193 AbstractPreliminary intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) images of suspected pediatric intraluminal pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) demonstrate wall thickening. It is unclear how the IVUS-delineated constituents of wall thickening correlate with the histology.
