Angiocardiographic findings in 9 infants with patent ductus arteriosus following maternal rubella are described. In 8 patients, certain anomalies of the pulmonary valve and main pulmonary artery were present which represent possibly a specific sign of post-rubella infection. These anomalies are: (1) a foreshortened main pulmonary artery, (2) a high, posteriorly placed, vertically tilted, pulmonary valve, (3) pulmonary valvular regurgitation, and (4) thickened pulmonary valves. In addition, 2 cases showed localized ectasia of the left subclavian artery.
