Right ventricle outflow tract dilatation and pulmonary artery aneurysm, rare cardiac conditions

We describe a rare case of simultaneous idiopathic right ventricular outflow tract dilatation and idiopathic main pulmonary artery aneurysm. A 59-year-old male presented with complaints of exertional shortness of breath and a cardiac murmur since childhood. CT pulmonary angiogram showed main pulmona...

description We describe a rare case of simultaneous idiopathic right ventricular outflow tract dilatation and idiopathic main pulmonary artery aneurysm. A 59-year-old male presented with complaints of exertional shortness of breath and a cardiac murmur since childhood. CT pulmonary angiogram showed main pulmonary artery dilatation with a diameter of 5.8 cm. Cardiac MRI revealed right ventricular outflow tract dilatation with a diameter of 5.4 cm and a main pulmonary artery aneurysm with a 5.6 cm diameter. Cardiothoracic surgery was consulted for surgical repair. Definitive management of right ventricular outflow tract dilatation and pulmonary artery aneurysms is challenging due to their infrequent diagnosis and lack of established guidelines. The treatment for central aneurysms is surgery which includes aneurysmectomy and right ventricular outflow tract repair or replacement.
