CTPA images in the APE and non-APE patients. (a) Complete filling defect in left main pulmonary artery filling without development of distal vessels (red arrow) in chest longitudinal section of soft-tissue window in APE patients. (b) Filling defect of the distal left pulmonary artery (red arrow) and atelectasis of the right lower lung with pleural effusion (blue arrow) in chest cross section of soft-tissue window in APE patients. (c) There was no filling defect in bilateral pulmonary arteries in chest longitudinal section of soft-tissue window in non-APE patients. (d) There was no filling defect in bilateral pulmonary arteries in chest cross section of soft-tissue window in non-APE patients.
