David's procedure for pulmonary artery aneurysm

We present a 39 ‐year‐old female idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension patient with a giant PAA causing severe pulmonary regurgitation (PR) and symptomatic left main coronary artery compression (LMCA). Since she had a failed LMCA stenting attempt, she underwent surgery. A valve‐sparing David‐like pulmo nary trunk reconstruction and coronary artery bypass were performed. This case illustrates that David‐like reconstruction procedure can be applied to the PAA with severe PR.
