Abstract

Association of Pulmonary Artery Aneurysm with Ischemic Heart Disease is uncommon, and its surgical management has been rarely described in the literature. Surgical intervention should be individualised according to the coexisting diseases and comorbidities to achieve optimal outcome. We report a case of a 76-year-old man with background history of coronary artery stenting due to ischaemic heart disease. The patient presented with features of coronary compression due to giant pulmonary artery aneurysm. He was operated with replacement of aneurysmal pulmonary trunk with 25 mm Hancock conduit.
