Pulmonary artery aneurysm (PAA) is a very rare disease. Such aneurysms are distinguished according to their form (saccular and fusiform) and origin (congenital and acquired). A case is reported of PAA rupture in a female patient, aged 58, that had long been ill with a rheumatic mitral valvular disease. A number of conditions favoured the origination of PAA and its disruption. They are: the existence of combined rheumatic heart disease, widespread posttuberculous pneumosclerosis with pulmonary emphysema and thrombosis of the right pulmonary artery as a result of chronic cardiovascular failure.
肺动脉瘤（PAA）是一种非常罕见的疾病。此类动脉瘤根据其形态（囊状和梭形）和起源（先天性和后天性）进行区分。本文报道了一例58岁长期患有风湿性二尖瓣疾病的女性患者发生PAA破裂的病例。多种情况促成了PAA的发生及其破裂。这些情况包括：合并存在风湿性心脏病、广泛的结核后肺硬化合并肺气肿以及慢性心血管衰竭导致的右肺动脉血栓形成。
