Description

Mizuki Momoi and colleagues report a 2026 case of lung artery clots. The patient was a 75-year-old woman. Her chronic clots progressed to pulmonary hypertension. At the start, her pressure reading looked reassuring. Such progression is thought to be unlikely. The case challenges that routine assumption.

She had essential thrombocythemia, a blood condition. She also carried the JAK2 V617F mutation. A past pulmonary embolism was in her history. Scans showed organised clots in her right lung arteries. A catheter test still showed normal pressure then. She declined procedures and stayed on blood thinners. Three years later, pressures had climbed sharply. She died one year after that.
