Giant pulmonary artery aneurysm secondary to primary pulmonary hypertension.
A 19-year-old woman with a 2-year history of progressive dyspnea, dull aching chest pain, and hoarseness was referred to our institution for clinical evaluation. Her general physical examination was normal. Auscultation revealed a palpable systolic impulse in the 2nd left anterior intercostal space and a grade 2/6 systolic murmur at the lower left sternal border. Her chest radiograph showed car...
متن کاملBicuspid Pulmonic Valve and Pulmonary Artery Aneurysm
Bicuspid pulmonary valves and pulmonary artery aneurysms are two rare entities, reported in association, and usually attributed to hemodynamic alterations caused by the bicuspid pulmonary valve. We present magnetic resonance images of a patient with a bicuspid pulmonary valve and pulmonary artery aneurysm, and propose an alternative mechanism for this association, based on recent embryologic st...
متن کاملThalassemia Associated Pulmonary Hypertension
Cardiac disease is the main cause of death in both forms of thalassemia; thalassemia major (TM) and thalassemia intermedia (TI). Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is one of the cardiopulmonary morbidities with high mortality that, if not treated, may trigger right-sided heart failure and premature death. PH is defined as a mean pulmonary artery pressure of ≥25 mmHg at rest or ≥30 mmHg during exercise...
متن کاملQuadricuspid pulmonary valve complicated with aneurysm of pulmonary trunk diagnosed with ECG-gated computed tomography.
Quadricuspid pulmonary valve (QPV) is an uncommon congenital defect reported in the general population with a frequency of up to 0.25%. The defect usually does not cause severe clinical complications and its presence frequently remains clinically silent. Moreover, there are several difficulties in visualization of pulmonary valve using basic diagnostic modalities such as echocardiography. There...
متن کاملGiant Pulmonary Artery Aneurysm in a Patient With Marfan Syndrome and Pulmonary Hypertension.
Case Presentation This is a 58-year-old woman with Marfan syndrome, FBN1 mutation c.6423delG, who, in 2004, was found to have a dilated main pulmonary artery (MPA) on chest x-ray performed for cough and wheezing. The MPA was 4.9 cm on computed tomographic angiogram; mean pulmonary artery (PA) pressure was 33 mm Hg on right heart catheterization. Transthoracic echocardiogram showed a right ventr...
