Pulmonary artery aneurysms (PAA) are uncommon and the management of these conditions is not clear. Main PAA with high pulmonary pressure and right ventricular overload should be surgically managed because of the risk of rupture and dissection. However, isolated PAA, in the absence of left-to-right shunt or pulmonary hypertension, probably have a benign course and conservative treatment and close follow-up may be appropriate. The case of a 62-year-old patient with pulmonary artery aneurysm and coronary artery disease who had previous cardiac surgery is presented here.
