“…Reisenauer et al described aneurysmorrhaphy or aneurysmectomy with graft interposition as a surgical option in their single-center experience of 38 patients [6]. Franciosi et al and Circi et al described a Yacoub and a David's procedure to treat a giant PAA in the presence of a normal pulmonary valve, respectively [9,10]. We opted for a porcine root due to its excellent performance and longterm outcomes [11,12].…”

Pulmonary artery aneurysm (PAA) is a rare disorder with a difficult diagnosis and debated management in literature due to the limited number of cases. Even if the definitive treatment of PAA is surgery, consistent guidelines still need to be developed to help surgeons determine when intervention is appropriate. We report a case of a 77-year-old female diagnosed with central PAA measuring 61 mm at contrast-enhanced computerized tomography scan which was treated surgically. The patient underwent a successful elective complete pulmonary root replacement with a Medtronic Freestyle (Medtronic Inc, Minneapolis, MN) porcine root. Postprocedural recovery and follow-up at 12 months were uneventful.
