Atherosclerotic Calcification of the Pulmonary Arteries
60-year-old female presents with dyspnea. CT in the axial plane at the level of the right pulmonary artery showing a significantly enlarged right pulmonary artery with atherosclerotic calcification in the wall of both the right and the left pulmonary arteries of the lung (b, ringed in white)

60-year-old female presents with dyspnea. CT in the coronal plane at the level of the carina shows a significantly enlarged right pulmonary artery with atherosclerotic calcification in the wall of both the right main and upper pulmonary arteries of the lung. The main pulmonary artery is also significantly enlarged but the sizes of the arteries rapidly attenuate indicating pruning of the vessels

Enlarged Right Atrium
60-year-old female presents with dyspnea. CT in the coronal plane at the level of the right atrium shows a significantly enlarged main pulmonary artery and right atrium.

CT ? ASD s/p Repair Pulmonary Hypertension CardioMEM Device
60-year-old female presents with dyspnea. CT in the axial plane at the level of the heart shows an enlarged right atrium and right ventricle shift of the atrial septum from right to left, and flattening of the interventricular septum indicating significantly elevated right sided pressures.
A high density foreign body is noted in the descending left pulmonary artery and represents CardioMEM that monitors pulmonary artery pressure and enables caregivers to proactively manage heart failure

CT in the coronal plane at the level of the spine The outline of the cardioMEM device (b, red ring) in the medial segmental left pulmonary artery with its distal nitinol stabilizing wire abutting a branch point of the artery . A calcified atherosclerotic plaque lies in the wall of the origin of the LPA from the main pulmonary artery (b red arrow). Image c shows the ex vivo appearance of the device. The pruning of the pulmonary arteries are again noted

Mosaic Attenuation
60-year-old female presents with dyspnea. CT in the axial plane shows a focal region of mosaic attenuation in the posterior aspect of the left upper lobe of the lung, (b red ring), likely secondary to the pulmonary hypertension.
