  • Title: Pulmonary artery aneurysm due to severe congenital pulmonic stenosis. Case report and literature review.
    Author: Tami LF, McElderry MW.
    Journal: Angiology; 1994 May; 45(5):383-90. PubMed ID: 8172386.
    Abstract:
    Although dilatation of the pulmonary artery (PA) is characteristic of pulmonic valve stenosis (PVS), the occurrence of a PA aneurysm in association with PVS is very rare. The authors describe a patient with severe, dome-shaped PVS who developed a 6.5 cm pulmonary trunk aneurysm. Long-term follow-up after surgical valvotomy demonstrated that the size of the aneurysm remained unchanged. Pertinent literature and implications on the natural history and management of these aneurysms are discussed.
