Presentation and management of pulmonary artery sarcoma
Conclusions
PAS often presents with symptoms mimicking pulmonary hypertension, heart failure or thromboembolic disease. PEA provides good symptomatic relief and in some cases, offers a chance of long-term survival. Although outcome appears to be better when PEA is combined with post-operative chemo- and radio-therapy, further studies are warranted.
