Aneurysm of the main pulmonary artery is a rare finding in adults. This case presents the finding of an asymptomatic 4.6-cm pulmonary artery aneurysm in a woman in her early 60s detected on routine transthoracic echocardiography. All pertinent data are presented, and the clinical significance of the pulmonary artery aneurysm is discussed. The case emphasizes the importance of following a complete and thorough echocardiographic examination protocol. A limited study is likely to miss significant incidental findings such as is reported here, particularly if it involves the right heart. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
