[A case of tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary aneurysm].

A case of pulmonary artery aneurysm associated with tetralogy of Fallot is presented. A 28-year-old man was admitted for evaluation of cyanosis and cardiac murmur. Preoperative angiography revealed tetralogy of Fallot and an aneurysm of the main pulmonary artery aneurysm. Operation consisted of pulmonary artery aneurysmectomy and total correction of the tetralogy of Fallot. Microscopic examination of the resected aneurysm showed the thickening of intima and fragmented elastic fibers of media. A brief review of the literature emphasizes the necessity of the surgical intervention.
