Aneurysm of the pulmonary trunk with patent arterial duct.

ABSTRACT

We present a 14-year-old female with a massive aneurysm of the pulmonary trunk occurring secondary to bacterial endocarditis of the patent arterial duct. Echo Doppler imaging, magnetic resonance and angiography confirmed the diagnosis. On intermediate follow-up after surgical correction, the echo studies and cardiac catheterization disclosed no residual lesions. The patient is now asymptomatic.
