Abstract

A 52-year-old male patient had a right humorous fracture 6 weeks before seeking surgical treatment. On transthoracic echocardiography, the pulmonary artery aneurysm was measured, at its widest point, to be approximately 9.07 cm in diameter with a thrombus inside the main pulmonary artery. Thoracic computerized tomography confirmed the presence of an aneurysm in the main pulmonary artery of approximately 9.05 cm diameter with a thrombus involving the right main pulmonary artery.
