Pulmonary artery dissection in a patient with undiagnosed pulmonary hypertension--A case report and review of literature

Carl Johan Malm et al. Heart Lung. 2015 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

Pulmonary artery dissection is rare and highly lethal and most reports in the literature are from autopsies. We describe a patient with undiagnosed primary pulmonary hypertension suffering from pulmonary artery dissection that subsequently underwent surgical repair and in addition review the current literature on this topic.

Keywords: Pulmonary aneurysm; Pulmonary dissection; Pulmonary hypertension; Reconstruction; Surgical treatment.
