Abstract

We would like to report a rare case of post-stenotic aneurysm of the pulmonary trunk and its left branch in a 46-year-old male. Through a surgical approach the pulmonary trunk and its left branch were excised and reconstructed using a 28mm Dacron tube graft; the right pulmonary branch was then reimplanted on the right side of the tube. The patient was discharged from hospital uneventfully.
