- Pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH ) as in Eisenmenger syndrome - Pulmonary infarct
- Infective endocarditis - Right Ventricular - VSD and tricuspid valvular endocarditis -vegetation results in Pulmonary infarct
- PDA with endarteritis produce vegetation embolise to form Pulmonary infarct
- Congestive heart failure may lead to DVT –which in turn can result in Pulmonary infarct
- Post myocardial infarction will also lead to DVT which inturn can result in Pulmonary infarct.
