“Distal bright vessel sign” – Novel radiological sign of pulmonary thromboembolism

We describe a novel radiological sign of pulmonary thromboembolism on computed tomography aortic angiogram. It consists of focal hyperenhancement of pulmonary arteries distal to the pulmonary thrombus, while the thrombus itself remains occult and the rest of pulmonary arteries are hypoattenuating. T...

description We describe a novel radiological sign of pulmonary thromboembolism on computed tomography aortic angiogram. It consists of focal hyperenhancement of pulmonary arteries distal to the pulmonary thrombus, while the thrombus itself remains occult and the rest of pulmonary arteries are hypoattenuating. The sign was observed on computed tomography aortic angiograms in 2 patients assessed for suspected acute aortic syndrome. Pulmonary emboli were subsequently confirmed with computed tomography pulmonary angiography.
