Pulmonary artery aneurysm (PAA) is a rare disease with life-threatening complications, especially when accompanied by pulmonary artery hypertension. Due to its rarity, there are currently no specific guidelines for the treatment of PAA. Several surgical techniques have been described to be beneficial in the treatment of PAA originating at the pulmonary trunk. However, several adverse complications have been described for traditional techniques. In this case, we present the first successful repair of PAA with idiopathic pulmonary artery hypertension using a graft inclusion technique.
肺动脉瘤(PAA)是一种罕见疾病,伴有危及生命的并发症,尤其是合并肺动脉高压时。由于其罕见性,目前尚无治疗PAA的具体指南。已有几种手术技术被描述为对治疗起源于肺动脉主干的PAA有益。然而,传统技术存在一些不良并发症。在此病例中,我们展示了首例使用移植物植入技术成功修复合并特发性肺动脉高压的PAA。
