In this radiology lecture, we discuss the chest x-ray and CT appearance of pulmonary infarction in the setting of acute pulmonary embolism.

Key points include:

Uncommon complication of pulmonary embolism.
Most common in right lung.
Risk of infarction increases with large clot burden.
Typically wedge-shaped, peripheral consolidation with no air bronchograms (Hampton hump).
However, may not be wedge-shaped, and not all wedge-shaped opacities will be infarcts in the setting of pulmonary embolism.
“Bubbly” consolidation containing rounded, central lucencies: Most specific finding of infarct* and represents a combination of infarcted, necrotic lung and adjacent viable, aerated lung.
“Vessel” sign: Enlarged vessel leading to apex of a wedge-shaped opacity. Vessel is dilated due to the presence of intraluminal thrombus or distal obstruction.
