Abstract EN
Pulmonary artery aneurysms (PAAs) are defined as having pulmonary artery diameter of greater than 40 mm.
PAAs are rare and can occur in various pulmonary diseases.
There are no clear-cut guidelines regarding the management of PAAs, and recommendations for management are made based on expert consensus opinion, case reports, and institutional experience.
This series highlights three patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) and PAA.
The clinical course and diagnostic findings and the decision-making involved in the treatment are reviewed.
An overview of three distinct management strategies including medical management, heart/lung transplant, and surgical aneurysm repair is presented.
