Abstract

An aneurysm of the pulmonary artery is a rare but severe complication in patients suffering from pulmonary arterial hypertension. For these patients, a lung or heart-lung transplant is the only definitive therapy available. Our goal was to show a reconstruction strategy in a patient with a mismatch between the pulmonary artery and the donor aorta.

Keywords: Lung Transplantation; Pulmonary Artery Aneurysm; Pulmonary artery Hypertension.
