Findings on multidetector-row CT (MDCT) in our patient (Figs 1-3) indicated: * presence of PDA (12 mm diameter) * presence of pulmonary hypertension; main pulmonary trunk >3 cm * presence of enlarged RV and RA * thrombus present in the RA; subsegmental pulmonary emboli.
The key finding on CT is an enlarged pulmonary trunk with normal to diminished peripheral pulmonary arteries (2,12) (Figure 23).
