Giant Hiatus Hernia Causing Pulmonary Vein Obstruction: Insights From 4D Flow Cardiac MRI

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Severe extrinsic compression of the left atrium by a giant hiatus hernia can obstruct left atrial inflow. 4D flow cardiovascular magnetic resonance is a novel, non-invasive imaging technique that can precisely quantify individual pulmonary vein flow dynamics, facilitating the diagnosis of functional venous obstruction in this rare clinical scenario.
