Pulmonary vascular remodeling is the key structural alteration in pulmonary hypertension
and involves changes in the intima, media and adventitia, often with the interplay of
inflammatory cells. This review examines the pathology of these changes and highlights
some of the pathogenetic mechanisms that underlie the remodeling process.
