Abstract
Among patients with congenital heart disease and plexogenic pulmonary arteriopathy, histopathological differences were observed between those surviving into adulthood and those dying in childhood/adolescence. Plexiform lesions in adults undergo remodeling from a cellular morphology to an involuted morphology. It is unclear whether this simply represents the natural progression of plexiform lesions or also confers a survival advantage.
