Idiopathic pulmonary artery aneurysm treated with surgical correction and concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting

George Arnaoutakis et al. Ann Thorac Surg. 2009 Jul.

Abstract

Idiopathic pulmonary artery aneurysm is a rare clinical entity, and therefore the natural course and clinical management are not well established. We present the case of an elderly woman with a symptomatic idiopathic pulmonary artery aneurysm who underwent surgical repair along with simultaneous coronary artery bypass grafting. With long-term follow-up presented in this report, we describe the safety and durability of surgical repair.
