In fact, the indications for surgical treatment and the type of surgical approach are not clear. However, in case of giant PAAs with hypertension and pulmonary valve abnormalities, surgery should be considered as an effective and safe approach to prevent dissections or ruptures. In this report, we describe a successful case of surgical repair, using a Bioconduit with a pericardial patch to recreate the pulmonary artery bifurcation in a 72-year-old male with aneurysm of the pulmonary artery (max diameter: 72\u2009mm), associated with quadricuspid pulmonary valve stenosis and pulmonary hypertension. The procedure was uncomplicated and the follow-up computed tomography scan at 4 months showed correct positioning of the graft with no sign of contrast leakage.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0041-1732435","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,31]],"date-time":"2021-08-31T22:35:56Z","timestamp":1630449356000},"page":"312-315","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Management of Giant Pulmonary Artery Aneurysm with Quadricuspid Valve Stenosis"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Veronica","family":"Lorenz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unit of Cardiac Surgery, Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria Senese, Siena, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrea","family":"Gambacciani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unit of Cardiac Surgery, Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria Senese, Siena, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7875-3342","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Susanna","family":"Guerrini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiological Sciences, Unit of Diagnostic Imaging, Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria Senese, Siena, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mazzei Francesco","family":"Giuseppe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiological Sciences, Unit of Diagnostic Imaging, Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria Senese, Siena, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Montesi","family":"Gianfranco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unit of Cardiac Surgery, Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria Senese, Siena, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alessio","family":"Mattesini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Structural Interventional Cardiology, Careggi University Hospital, Florence, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,31]]},"reference":[{"issue":"01","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"192","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9149(87)80113-3","article-title":"Aneurysm of the pulmonary trunk unassociated with intracardiac or great vessel left-to-right shunting","volume":"59","author":"D J Barbour","year":"1987","journal-title":"Am J Cardiol"},{"issue":"04","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"471","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-8703(47)90527-9","article-title":"Aneurysm of the pulmonary artery; review of the literature and report of a case","volume":"34","author":"R A Deterling Jr","year":"1947","journal-title":"Am Heart J"},{"key":"ref3","first-page":"1924014","article-title":"Management of pulmonary artery aneurysms in pulmonary hypertension: a single-center review of 3 cases","volume":"2019","author":"T Ahmed","year":"2019","journal-title":"Case Rep Cardiol"},{"issue":"03","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"359","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejrad.2007.09.021","article-title":"The many faces of aortic dissections: beware of unusual presentations","volume":"65","author":"M Scaglione","year":"2008","journal-title":"Eur J Radiol"},{"issue":"03","key":"ref5","first-page":"452","article-title":"Suggested standards for reporting on arterial aneurysms.
