  • Title: Angioplastic repair of a ruptured pulmonary artery aneurysm.
    Author: Fishman NH, Miller EW, Freed TA.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1976 Feb; 21(2):184-8. PubMed ID: 5973.
    Abstract:
    A 28-year-old woman had a ruptured solitary pulmonary arterial aneurysm which was successfully treated by pericardial patch graft. The etiology of the aneurysm could not be determined although the patient had had several episodes of blunt chest trauma in the past. Unusual aspects of this case include: location of the aneurysm in the intermediate portion of the left pulmonary artery within the major intralobar fissure, intrapleural rupture, preoperative diagnosis by pulmonary angiography, and an incidentally discovered histopathological abnormality of the aneurysm itself for which no satisfactory explanation has been found.
