Surgical Intervention for Giant Pulmonary Artery Aneurysm in Behcet Disease: A Case Report

Abstract

was performed after the introduction of a suction cannula in the aneurysm, which facilitated its emptying and the subsequent maneuvers. Conclusions: PAA is a rare disease, generally treated with medical therapy or interventional procedures. However, giant and fast-growing aneurysms are more likely to entail complications and often required immediate treatment. In this case, primary surgical intervention with a pulmonary bilobectomy appeared mandatory to avoid life-threatening events.
