The main indications for pulmonary artery imaging are acute pulmonary thromboembolic disease and assessment of chronic pulmonary artery hypertension. Other indications, such as investigation of haemoptysis and pulmonary arterial vascular malformations are not addressed in this chapter. Although recurrent acute thromboembolic disease may eventually lead to pulmonary hypertension, the two are essentially separate patient groups for the purpose of CT scanning. This chapter covers CT pulmonary angiography, peripheral venous imaging, and chronic pulmonary hypertension.

High Output

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) associated with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) occurs most commonly as a consequence of high-output heart failure related to excessive shunting through visceral vascular malformations. A smaller number of HHT patients develop a form of heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension, characterized by an elevated pulmonary vascular resistance with normal left heart filling pressures. In this review, we will discuss the clinical manifestations of HHT in general, the pathophysiology behind the different forms of PH associated with HHT, and the clinical care of the HHT patient with PH.
