Pulmonary artery aneurysms (PAAs) are very rare condition. In this paper, we report a case of a twenty‐year‐old female patient with the aneurysm of the pulmonary trunk secondary to the patent arterial duct (PDA) and infection. Diagnosis of PAA was confirmed by echocardiography. The pulmonary artery computed tomographic angiography also revealed the aneurysm and drawn a similar conclusion as echo did. The patient underwent surgery of ligation of PDA and PAA aneurysmectomy repairing with pericardium graft.

“…Among all reported cases, one third to half of affected patients died of a rupture. 5 Because of the imminent danger, surgical therapy should be recommended for PAA to prevent fatal rupture, regardless of etiology and underlying disease if the patient has an acceptable operative risk. 6 In our patient, the intraoperative conditions presented an aneurysm wall that had become so thin that impending rupture was likely, thus confirming the accurate timing of our surgical procedure.…”

“…Poststenotic enlargement of pulmonary arteries in patients with pulmonary valve stenosis is a well-known phenomenon in adult patients. 1,2 The occurrence of selective pulmonary artery severe ectasia or aneurysm is an unusual finding in both children and adults with pulmonary valve stenosis, 3 and is usually due to different causes including vasculitis, pulmonary artery hypertension, infectious agents or collagen vascular disorders. In our case, the supposed role of the eccentric jet seems to be suggested by the relative stability of the pulmonary artery diameter, at least over the short follow-up after the successful valvuloplasty.…”

A 57-year-old lady with effort dyspnea was admitted to our center for suspected pulmonary valve stenosis. The clinical history was remarkable for smoking and hypertension, whereas on physical examination a systolic murmur on the left subclavian space was clearly audible. Transesophageal echocardiography revealed a transpulmonary gradient of 60 mmHg and an enlargement of the left pulmonary artery. MRI detected an aneurysm of the left pulmonary artery with a normal right pulmonary artery: a selective eccentric jet from the valve to the left pulmonary artery was thought to be the cause of the left pulmonary artery enlargement (Fig. 1a). Angio-computed tomography confirmed a left pulmonary diameter of Images in cardiovascular medicine Fig. 1 Procedural diagnostic and interventional steps. (a) MRI: an eccentric jet from the valve selectively to the left pulmonary artery was apparent (arrow). (b) Angio-computed tomography of the heart and vessels: a severe dilatation a left pulmonary (43 mm) was demonstrated. (c) Three-dimensional reconstruction of computed tomography imaging.
