A Case of Pulmonary Artery Aneurysm Replacement and Pulmonary Artery Valve Replacement for a Pulmonary Aneurysm Complicated with Pulmonary Valve Regurgitation

Abstract

The patient was a 61-year-old woman diagnosed with a pulmonary artery aneurysm with a maximum diameter of 66 mm and progressive pulmonary valve regurgitation, and surgery was decided upon. Pulmonary artery replacement and pulmonary valve replacement were performed. Pulmonary artery aneurysms are extremely rare, and there are no clear treatment guidelines, including surgical indications, so each case must be carefully considered. At the same time, because they are rare, it is difficult to master the surgical technique, and various innovations are considered necessary.
