Work Up

A 62-year-old woman with pulmonary hypertension due to alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency and known congenital pulmonic valve stenosis presented with palpitations, chest pressure and bradycardia and was found to have a 6 cm pulmonary artery aneurysm on work-up. The patient underwent surgical pulmonary artery aneurysm repair and recovered from operation without complications.

Pulmonary artery (PA) aneurysms are uncommon and often diagnosed post-mortem. Theyare characterized by a PA/aorta diameter ratio greater than 2 on transthoracic echocardiographyor a pulmonary artery diameter greater than 4 or 5 cm on computed tomography. The mostcommon conditions associated with pulmonary artery aneurysm are congenital heart defectswith left-to-right shunts and pulmonic valve abnormalities. There are also numerous causesof acquired pulmonary artery aneurysms, including infection, vasculitis, pulmonary arterialhypertension, trauma, neoplasm and pulmonary embolism. Symptoms of PA aneurysm areusually non-specific, and physical examination findings are variable depending on the underlyingcause. Work-up includes various imaging modalities, transthoracic echocardiography, and rightheart catheterization. The gold standard treatment is surgery, but in select patients, conservativemanagement with close monitoring can be pursued.
