Aneurysm of the left pulmonary artery: surgical allograft repair.
We present a case of left pulmonary artery aneurysm with pulmonary valve stenosis. The aneurysm was excluded and the valve replaced by the implantation of a pulmonary artery allograft. The short-term follow-up (20 months) is promising.
