Idiopathic pulmonary artery aneurysm is a rare clinical entity, and therefore the natural course and clinical management are not well established. We present the case of an elderly woman with a symptomatic idiopathic pulmonary artery aneurysm who underwent surgical repair along with simultaneous coronary artery bypass grafting. With long-term follow-up presented in this report, we describe the safety and durability of surgical repair.
特发性肺动脉瘤是一种罕见的临床病症,因此其自然病程和临床治疗方法尚未完全明确。我们报告一例患有症状性特发性肺动脉瘤的老年女性病例,该患者接受了手术修复并同期进行冠状动脉搭桥术。通过本报告中给出的长期随访结果,我们描述了手术修复的安全性和持久性。
