Surgical therapy of pulmonary artery aneurysms: a report of 2 cases.
Pulmonary artery aneurysm is a rare condition that may be acquired rather than congenital. The natural history of pulmonary artery aneurysms is not defined yet, and management is still controversial. We present 2 cases of adult patients with pulmonary artery aneurysms who were treated surgically. We suggest replacement as the surgical strategy.
