Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) represents at least 5-10% of all congenital heart defects (CHDs) making it a very important commonly diagnosed lesion. Although spontaneous closure of the PDA occurs within 24 to 48 hours after birth in the majority, those children who do not have natural or surgical closure may have a persistent PDA into adulthood. The diagnosis is most often confirmed by echocardiography that also guides catheter-based interventions and surgeries. Echocardiography continues to be the most important tool in long-term follow-up of residua and sequelae.

“…It is rare for silent PDA to occur concomitant with pulmonary endarteritis (2). Furthermore, it is extremely rare for PDA to be accompanied by pulmonary endarteritis and pulmonary embolism; to our knowledge, it has previously been reported in only a few cases (4,5).…”

A 49-year-old man without heart murmur was admitted with fever because of bacteremia following a tooth extraction. Antibiotics rapidly alleviated the fever; however, a small nodule in the pulmonary artery was identified on computed tomography (CT). When the patient experienced chest discomfort with fever, CT demonstrated the absence of the nodule and the appearance of an abnormal lung opacity, and echocardiography showed turbulent retrograde flow in the pulmonary artery. We had the rare opportunity to follow a case of pulmonary bacterial endarteritis and subsequent pulmonary embolism with clinically silent patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) that was confirmed by 3-dimensional CT.
