CASE REPORT Left main coronary artery and right pulmonary vein compression by a large pulmonary artery aneurysm
نویسندگان
چکیده
P ulmonary artery aneurysms (PAAs) are uncommon. Depending on their size and location, they may lead to complications such as extrinsic compression of the left main coronary artery and the upper right pulmonary vein, as we describe in our case. Other complications are thrombus formation, secondary thromboembolic phenomena, and rupture. Therefore, awareness of this condition and its diagnosis are very important to prevent these problems.
