Abstract

The dilatation of pulmonary artery is a rare condition and called as pulmonary artery aneurysm. Aneurysm of both the pulmonary trunk and the ascending aorta is even rarer. Symptoms are due to aneurysm compression in adjacent anatomical structures. The main indicator of treatment is the pulmonary artery pressure. The prognosis and treatment of pulmonary artery aneurysm is unclear. Herein we present a case of a main pulmonary artery and ascending aortic aneurysms without underlying pathology. Because our case was asymptomatic, without a initiative cardiac lesion and/or pulmonary hypertension; we decided to follow-up him without operation and he was stable at 24-month follow-up.
