Overview

Cardiac catheterization serves to establish the presence of a PDA by assessment of the increase of oxygen in the pulmonary artery. It also serves to identify the anatomy of the PDA, the severity of a left-to-right shunt, and the presence of pulmonary hypertension.

Other Imaging Findings

• Other imaging findings of PDA include:
  • Cardiac catheterization
    • Helps in establishing the presence of a PDA by assessment of the increase of oxygen in the pulmonary artery
    • Identify the anatomy of the PDA
    • Identify severity of a left-to-right shunt
    • Identify presence of pulmonary hypertension
