Summary:[...]it should be kept in mind that hemodynamic stress of the pulmonary circulation is lower than the systemic circulation and pre-existing medial abnormalities of the pulmonary artery possibly likely might predispose to dilatation of pulmonary artery after its exposure to the hemodynamic stress of the systemic circulation, such as in the dilation of the pulmonary autograft in patients undergoing Ross procedure.
