Abstract

pulmonary artery aneurysms have proven to be a very rare entity. the association with structural cardiac abnormalities, structural vascular abnormalities, pulmonary hypertension, vasculitis and infection has been noted. surgical intervention of symptomatic aneurysms is recommended. here, we report a case of pulmonary artery aneurysm undergoing surgery in our center and a brief review of the existing literature on this topic. the case concerns a 56-year-old patient with a diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm at the origin of the pulmonary trunk, sacciform aneurysm of the common trunk-pulmonary artery left branch (diameters (dt) lateral-lateral (LL) 58 mm × antero-posterior (AP) 67 mm × cranial-caudal (CC) 65 mm) and ectasia of the right branch (34.5 × 30 mm).
