Pulmonary hypertension

        Seen with pulmonary hypertension are small peripheral pulmonary arteries that are quite thickened. The larger pulmonary arteries demonstrate atherosclerosis with pulmonary hypertension.
        The loss of normal lung parenchyma leads to pulmonary hypertension that leads to thickening of the small arteries along with reduplication to form a plexiform lesion, as seen here in a peripheral pulmonary artery.
