We describe a rare case of simultaneous idiopathic right ventricular outflow tract dilatation and idiopathic main pulmonary artery aneurysm. A 59-year-old male presented with complaints of exertional shortness of breath and a cardiac murmur since childhood. CT pulmonary angiogram showed main pulmonary artery dilatation with a diameter of 5.8 cm. Cardiac MRI revealed right ventricular outflow tract dilatation with a diameter of 5.4 cm and a main pulmonary artery aneurysm with a 5.6 cm diameter. Cardiothoracic surgery was consulted for surgical repair. Definitive management of right ventricular outflow tract dilatation and pulmonary artery aneurysms is challenging due to their infrequent diagnosis and lack of established guidelines. The treatment for central aneurysms is surgery which includes aneurysmectomy and right ventricular outflow tract repair or replacement.
我们描述了一例罕见的同时发生特发性右心室流出道扩张和特发性主肺动脉瘤的病例。一名59岁男性自幼出现劳力性气短和心脏杂音。CT肺动脉造影显示主肺动脉扩张,直径为5.8厘米。心脏磁共振成像显示右心室流出道扩张,直径为5.4厘米,主肺动脉瘤直径为5.6厘米。已咨询心胸外科进行手术修复。由于右心室流出道扩张和肺动脉瘤的诊断不常见且缺乏既定指南,其确切治疗具有挑战性。中央型动脉瘤的治疗方法是手术,包括动脉瘤切除术和右心室流出道修复或置换。
