Imaging findings
Lack of opacification of the left pulmonary artery mimicking an intimal sarcoma, but caused by chronic venous occlusion following atrial fibrillation ablation.
Key takeaways
Pulmonary veins are a potential blind spot. Always look for the cause of absent pulmonary artery opacification—slow flow from venous occlusion can mimic malignant masses.
