title: Giant pulmonary artery aneurysm with right ventricular outflow tract obstruction.
abstract: Aneurysm of the main pulmonary artery is rare. Its natural history is not well understood and there are no clear guidelines regarding its optimal treatment. We present a case of a huge saccular aneurysm of the main pulmonary artery which was associated with infundibular and valvular pulmonary stenosis. It was repaired using a pericardial patch with concomitant pulmonary valvotomy and infundibular resection. Postoperative recovery was uneventful and the patient is doing well. Follow-up echocardiogram revealed good repair.
