Sumario: | Pulmonary artery aneurysm (PAA) is a rare disease with life-threatening complications, especially when accompanied by pulmonary artery hypertension. Due to its rarity, there are currently no specific guidelines for the treatment of PAA. Several surgical techniques have been described to be beneficial in the treatment of PAA originating at the pulmonary trunk. However, several adverse complications have been described for traditional techniques. In this case, we present the first successful repair of PAA with idiopathic pulmonary artery hypertension using a graft inclusion technique. |
