Computer tomography demonstration of pulmonary artery calcification in Eisenmenger's syndrome.
Atherosclerotic change and pulmonary artery calcification is known to occur in patients with pulmonary artery hypertension. We present such a patient with Eisenmenger's syndrome. Computed tomography demonstrated atheromatous plaques and calcification of the pulmonary arteries.
