Abstract
Aneurysm of the pulmonary artery (PAA) is a rare pathology with unknown natural history. The main causes of PAA are pulmonary hypertension (PHT) secondary to pulmonary embolus or congenital heart diseases with left-to-right shunts. We report a case of giant PAA due to chronic pulmonary embolus associated with PHT in an elderly patient.
