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.
