ABSTRACT
Pulmonary artery aneurysms are rare lesions for which operative management is not frequently undertaken. When operation is indicated, central lesions involving the pulmonary trunk, right main pulmonary artery, or left main pulmonary artery are repaired using cardiopulmonary bypass. Peripheral aneurysms in segmental intrapulmonary arteries have been managed most frequently by lobectomy, but occasionally by aneurysmectomy and pulmonary arterial repair. We used cardiopulmonary bypass for peripheral pulmonary aneurysmectomy in a patient with limited respiratory reserve because he had undergone prior contralateral bilobectomy; this allowed controlled resection while preserving a maximal amount of pulmonary parenchyma.
