CTICasesSecond Incidentally Discovered Patent Ductus Arteriosus in a Type B Aortic Dissection
Imaging findings
In another patient imaged for a known Type B aortic dissection, axial and sagittal CT images again demonstrate a small patent ductus arteriosus with a jet of contrast traversing it, similar to the case shown earlier in the conference.
Key takeaways
This second, separate example of an incidentally discovered patent ductus arteriosus identified during dissection imaging reinforces that this congenital communication can be found unexpectedly in adults undergoing aortic imaging for unrelated indications such as dissection surveillance.
