case_images: Chest CT images: (a, b) Before surgery, showing stenosis of the right PA (arrows); (c, d) At 6 months after surgery, showing the patent grafts of the right PA (arrows); (e, f) At 18 months after surgery, showing the stenosis of the right PA graft (arrows); (g, h) At 34 months after surgery, showing unchanged stenosis of the right PA graft (arrows)

case_images: Thus, the stenosis accompanied with pulmonary hypertension and RV dysfunction was almost unchanged for as long as 16 months since its first detection (Fig. 1g, h, and Table 2). Thereafter, contact with the patient was lost.
case_images: A section of the right PA, showing granulomatous lymphoplasmacytic arteritis of the media with irregularly distributed Langhans' giant cells (arrows, hematoxylin and eosin, 100x)

case_images: FDG-PET CT images at 18 months after surgery: (a) Abnormal uptakes were detected only around the right PA graft; (b) No other apparent abnormal uptake was detected on the other large vessels

case_images: Whole body positron emission tomography with fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose CT (FDG-PET) was then performed for the first time and demonstrated high FDG uptake only around the right PA graft, but no other abnormal uptake by the other vessels was observed (Fig. 3a, b).
