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. We performed a novel surgical repair of a 67-mm PAA consisting of internal plication of the pulmonary artery to reduce the diameter and approximation of remnant unfolding pulmonary artery to reinforce the stability of the pulmonary artery and prevent bleeding.
我们报告了一例60岁女性患者,患有与房间隔缺损及肺动脉高压相关的肺动脉瘤(PAA)。目前对于PAA尚无标准的治疗方法。我们对一个67毫米的PAA实施了一种新颖的手术修复,包括对肺动脉进行内部折叠以减小直径,以及将残余展开的肺动脉进行贴合以加强肺动脉的稳定性并防止出血。
