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:[1][2]
- 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
