Pulmonary arterial hypertension is commonly present in severe mitral stenosis but a giant pulmonary artery aneurysm is rarely present in severe mitral stenosis. Here, we present a young female 20 years of age admitted to our department for closed mitral valvotomy for severe mitral stenosis. As we opened the thoracic cavity a large size of pulmonary artery aneurysm approximately 10 cm of size was seen, which was not detected pre-operatively by 2-D echocardiography. We operated the case successfully without intervening pulmonary artery aneurysm. Patient recovered well. |
