A 56-year old woman was admitted to our institution for the treatment of pulmonary artery aneurysm and pulmonary valve regurgitation. Multislice three-dimensional computed tomography showed a very large (61 mm in diameter) pulmonary artery aneurysm. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed severe pulmonary valve regurgitation and an enlarged right ventricle. Pulmonary artery aneurysmorrhaphy and pulmonary valve replacement were performed. Postoperative hemodynamics were stable. No recurrent dilatation of the pulmonary artery or cardiac failure was observed 9 months after surgery.
