  • Title: Pulmonary artery aneurysm with patent arterial duct: resection of aneurysm and ductal division.
    Author: Tefera E, Teodori M.
    Journal: World J Pediatr Congenit Heart Surg; 2013 Oct; 4(4):427-9. PubMed ID: 24327639.
    Abstract:
    Congenital or acquired aneurysm of the pulmonary artery (PA) is rare. Although aneurysms are described following surgical treatment of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), occurrence of this lesion in association with PDA without previous surgery is extremely uncommon. An eight-year-old patient with PDA and aneurysm of the main PA is described in this report. Clinical diagnosis of PDA was made upon presentation. Diagnosis of PA aneurysm was suspected on chest x-ray and was confirmed on transthoracic echocardiography. Successful surgical resection of the aneurysm and division of the duct were performed under cardiopulmonary bypass. The patient did well on follow-up both from clinical and echocardiographic point of view.
