| Core Tip |
A 31-year-old woman diagnosed with postpartum pulmonary embolism was readmitted to hospital, when conventional echocardiography found pulmonary artery hypertension. Right-heart contrast echocardiography showed microbubbles appearing in the left ventricle, with a slight delay after right-heart filling with microbubbles but no microbubbles in the left atrium; microbubbles also appeared in the descending aorta almost simultaneously to the right pulmonary artery. Computed tomography angiography showed no sign of pulmonary artery embolism but did show patent ductus arteriosus. Ultimately, right-heart contrast echocardiography showed a special imaging sequence for unexplained pulmonary artery hypertension with aortic valve insufficiency and simultaneous patent ductus arteriosus. |
