Membranous Obstruction

ABSTRACT Branch pulmonary artery (PA) stenosis may occur as an isolated finding or in conjunction with other cardiac malformations; it may be congenital or acquired postoperatively. Branch PAs need to be assessed individually to determine the adequacy of their size, whether they are confluent or nonconfluent, any stenosis at origin or distally, and severity of stenosis. Certain lesions, such as supravalvar pulmonary stenosis, or stenosis at the branch PAs bifurcation, are better dealt with at surgery. Thus, perioperative transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) assume a very important role in precisely evaluating the anatomy of main and branch PAs.

Rare Diagnosis

Pulmonary artery aneurysm (PAA) is a rare disorder that may be classified as congenital, acquired, or idiopathic, in the case of unclear etiology. When associated with severe idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension, such a case of PAA may present to the operating room as an indication for lung transplantation. In this article, we present such a case of a patient with a giant main and right PAA that underwent a double lung transplant. We describe the pathophysiology and natural course of this PAA and discuss the role of intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography in the management of patients with this rare diagnosis.
