Abstract

A 62-year-old woman with pulmonary hypertension due to alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency and known congenital pulmonic valve stenosis presented with palpitations, chest pressure and bradycardia and was found to have a 6 cm pulmonary artery aneurysm on work-up. The patient underwent surgical pulmonary artery aneurysm repair and recovered from operation without complications.
