PDA has been reported as a most common congenital heart defect in dogs and cats, however there is limited information on diagnostic procedure of PDA by use of three-dimensional computed tomography angiography (3D-CTA) in cats[1,2]. Thus, we report here the use of 3D-CTA to confirm the clinical diagnosis of PDA in a kitten.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessVeterinary sciencesLetter0004401961000252-s2.0-85048314642631632244Veterinary sciencesDog; Cor Triatriatum; Pulmonary Valve StenosisTroponin ICardiomegalyCatElectrocardiographyHeart auscultationHeart murmurLetterLung edemaPatent ductus arteriosusPulmonary arterySinus tachycardiaTachycardiaThorax radiography
