Abstract
Management of a giant pulmonary trunk aneurysm in lung transplantation is a challenge. Herein, we present a patient undergoing replacement of the giant pulmonary artery aneurysm with a donor's aorta in bilateral lung transplantation for idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension. A plastic three-dimensional model of the pulmonary artery aneurysm created accurately based on computed tomography data allowed us to simulate the procedure on the back table. Our intraoperative findings and management are discussed in this article.
