肺静脉阻塞性疾病（PVO）是一种罕见的肺动脉高压的原因，很难诊断，没有组织学。我们报告3例组织学证实的PVO。我们的患者均为中年或老年人，其中1例症状自发改善，表明PVO在老年人中可能比以前认为的更常见，并且可能存在惰性形式的疾病。随着对引起肺动脉高压的各种实体的新治疗方法的开发，精确地确定给定患者中存在哪种状况变得越来越重要。
Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVO) is an uncommon cause of pulmonary hypertension which is difficult to diagnose without histology. We report 3 cases of histologically confirmed PVO. Our patients were all middle-aged or older, and 1 had spontaneous improvement in his symptoms suggesting that PVO may occur more commonly among older adults than previously believed and that indolent forms of the disease may exist. As new therapeutic approaches to the various entities causing pulmonary hypertension are developed, it is increasingly important to determine precisely which condition is present in a given patient.
