To investigate the clinical features and CT findings of pulmonary hypertension (PH) in patients with fibrosing mediastinitis (FM).
Thirteen patients with FM diagnosed between September 2015 and June 2022 were studied retrospectively, including patients with PH (FM-PH group) and patients without PH (FM group) confirmed on right heart catheterization. The
test of two independent samples, Mann-Whitney
rank sum and
test were used to compare the general information, symptoms, laboratory examination, right ventricular and pulmonary artery measurement data and pulmonary artery CT findings between the two groups, respectively.
Compared with the 7 FM patients aged 28-79 (60.00±17.69) years, the 6 patients in the FM-PH group, aged from 60 to 82 (68.83±8.35) years, had more peripheral edema, lower percentage of PaO
, wider inner diameters of pulmonary artery and right ventricle, a higher ratio of right ventricle and left ventricular transverse diameter, faster tricuspid regurgitation velocity and higher estimated systol
