| pubmed:abstractText |
A solitary mycotic aneurysm of the right apical lower segmental pulmonary artery developed in an 8 year old child with infective endocarditis, ventricular septal defect and pulmonary hypertension. Surgical treatment was undertaken to prevent rupture and achieved by direct ligation of the feeding vessel and endoaneurysmorrhaphy with preservation of all lung tissue. Successful surgical treatment has been described in eight previous cases of mycotic pulmonary artery aneurysm though in only one adult patient has lung resection been avoided.
