title: Ruptured pulmonary artery aneurysm: a surgical emergency.
abstract: Idiopathic pulmonary artery aneurysm rupture was diagnosed in a 79-year-old man who presented with a dry cough. He was considered unlikely to tolerate extensive pulmonary artery reconstruction or lung resection; hence, he was salvaged by timely ligation of the distal pulmonary artery at the origin of the aneurysm.
