Radiological Reasoning: Pulmonary Embolism—Thinking Beyond the Clots

Pierre D. Maldjian1, Ather Anis2 and Muhamed Saric2

1 Department of Radiology, University Hospital, UMDNJ-NJ Medical School, 150 Bergen St., UH C-320, Newark, NJ 07103-2406.

Objective

We discuss the CT findings in a case of pulmonary embolism complicated by paradoxical embolism in a patient with a patent foramen ovale and atrial septal aneurysm.

Conclusion

When confronted with a case of pulmonary embolism on CT, besides evaluating the extent of pulmonary artery occlusion, the radiologist should examine the cardiovascular system to identify any unsuspected underlying or associated conditions.

Keywords: cardiopulmonary imaging • embolism • heart
