CONCLUSIONS: LMCA stenting appears to be a feasible and durable option in patients who present with angina because of compression by PAA.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abstract Pulmonary artery aneurysm presenting with dissection and hemopericardium is extremely rare, and we came across one such case in our center. The patient was a 22-year-old man who presented with dyspnoea, tachypnoea, and pallor.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We present the case of a 60-year-old female with pulmonary artery aneurysm (PAA) associated with an atrial septal defect and pulmonary arterial hypertension. There is no standard therapeutic approach for PAA at the present time.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This case is reported for its unsuspected presentation and rarity and to highlight the use of catheter coil embolization to achieve endovascular exclusion of the aneurysm from pulmonary circulation.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
BD is a multisystem disorder presenting with recurrent oral and genital ulcerations, as well as ocular involvement, and PAA is one of its rare complications.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Idiopathic PAA is generally asymptomatic and has an increased risk for dissection or rupture of the aneurysm.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Author information 1 Department of Cardiac Surgery, Landesklinikum Sankt Pölten, Austria. [email protected] Abstract A 60-year-old male being treated for chronic venous stasis ulcers presented with an asymptomatic pulmonary artery aneurysm[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Postoperatively, the patient remained asymptomatic with trivial pulmonary regurgitation 1 year later. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a pentacuspid pulmonary valve repair. Copyright 2016 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Due to the patient's clinical history (asymptomatic, located in the pulmonary trunk, with no data indicating a high risk of rupture), it was decided to opt for a conservative approach to the aneurysm.[archbronconeumol.org]
It can be asymptomatic, being a chance finding in a chest x-ray as in our patient.[revespcardiol.org]
Intravenous administration of antibiotics and thoracic drainage successfully controlled the infection and inflammation until day 16, when the patient began to exhibit hemoptysis and bloody pleural effusion.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Hemoptysis of pulmonary arterial origin is also infrequent; however, the mortality is as high as 50%.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Abstract We report a pulmonary artery (PA) aneurysm associated with severe aortic stenosis and an aortic root dilatation occurring in a 59-year-old woman who presented with dyspnoea and chestpain.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
After successful LMCA stent implantation, chestpain was greatly relieved.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
