Resumo
Background: Pulmonary artery trunk aneurysm (PATA) is a rare and complex vascular anomaly characterized by the abnormal dilation of the initial portion of the pulmonary artery, posing significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Purpose: This clinical case report aims to describe the follow-up of a patient with PATA, emphasizing the role of imaging in diagnosis and monitoring, as well as discussing potential associations with other conditions. Research Design: The study is designed as a clinical case report, detailing the longitudinal follow-up of a single patient with PATA. Study Sample: The subject of this study is a 48-year-old female patient with a history of idiopathic hypertension who developed a PATA. Data Collection and/or Analysis: Since 2010, the patient underwent various imaging exams, including echocardiography, computed tomography, and catheter angiography, to detect and evaluate the aneurysm at different stages. Results: The imaging results indicated a progression of the aneurysm over time, underscoring the importance of imaging in the early identification and monitoring of PATA. The report also explores the possible association of PATA with conditions such as pulmonary hypertension, Behçet’s disease, and Hughes-Stovin syndrome, highlighting the diagnostic complexity. Conclusions: Imaging diagnosis is crucial for the detection, characterization, and monitoring of PATA, providing essential information for selecting appropriate treatment options and achieving a satisfactory prognosis. An individualized treatment approach, considering both medical and surgical options, is necessary based on the clinical characteristics of each patient.
