Abstract

A 65-year-old man was referred to our hospital for the annual assessment of the diameter and dilation of a pulmonary artery (PA) aneurysm. He had a small ventricular septal defect (VSD) that had closed naturally. Echocardiography revealed a dilated main PA, mild pulmonary regurgitation and no VSD. Computed tomography confirmed the dilation of the main PA (66.7×47.8 mm), right PA (37.1×32.9 mm), and left PA (36.7×34.0 mm). The patient underwent pulmonary artery replacement using a prosthetic vascular graft. A quadricuspid pulmonary valve was identified intraoperatively. Early surgical intervention could help to prevent rupture and dissection of PA aneurysms.

肺动脉四尖瓣大动脉瘤的外科治疗一例。

一个65岁的男人被转介到我们医院每年评估直径和肺动脉（PA）动脉瘤的扩张。他有一个小的室间隔缺损（VSD），已经自然闭合。超声心动图显示主PA扩张，轻度肺返流，无室间隔缺损。计算机断层扫描证实主PA （66.7×47.8 mm）、右PA （37.1×32.9 mm）和左PA （36.7×34.0 mm）扩张。患者接受了假血管移植肺动脉置换术。术中发现肺动脉四尖瓣。早期手术干预有助于防止动脉瘤破裂和剥离。
