Surgical Therapy for Pulmonary Artery Aneurysm
Given that there is no guideline for the management of pulmonary artery aneurysm, a surgical indication needs to be considered on a case-by-case basis. If the risks of surgery are thought to outweigh the benefits, conservative management is also an option even if the pulmonary artery diameter is greater than 55 mm. Surgical repair of pulmonary artery aneurysm, including graft replacement and aneurysmorrhaphy, can be performed safely. Replacement with a Dacron graft is the most common and feasible approach.
