Popis: Two cases of pulmonary artery aneurysm are reported in patients with persistent ductus arteriosus (PDA). The first was a mycotic aneurysm complicating staphylococcal pneumonia; the other was a calcific aneurysm of the right pulmonary artery. The mycotic origin was confirmed in the first case. The aetiological roles of pulmonary hypertension and previous endocarditis are discussed in the second case. Based on these two observations, the authors analyse the aetiology and evolution of mycotic aneurysms and review the therapeutic problems posed by their association with PDA.
