Abstract

Pulmonary artery aneurysm (PAA) is a rare condition that can occur in both sexes, 89% in the main pulmonary artery and 11% in the branches of the pulmonary artery. It presents a risk of compression of adjacent structures, such as the left coronary artery (LMCA), among others. Rupture of the PAA can result in high mortality rates, ranging between 50 and 100%. We report a case on the clinical evolution after the surgical approach of a patient with symptomatic PAA, with potential compression of the LMCA.
