Zusammenfassung:Pulmonary artery aneurysm (PAA) is a rare entity with fatal complications. Its silent course contributes to large aneurysms with compression symptoms. 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 pulmonary 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.
