SURGICAL TREATMENT OF PULMONARY ARTERY SARCOMA

Objectives: Pulmonary artery sarcoma is a rare disease which involves proximal pulmonary arteries. Although surgical resection is a standard treatment, cardiopulmonary bypass is frequently required for complete removal of the tumour. Here we present a video case with pulmonary artery sarcoma at the proximal part of right pulmonary artery.

Video description: The patient was a 52-year-old woman who complained of cough and haemotysis. Chest CT scan, MRI, and PET-CT scan were performed and pulmonary artery sarcoma was diagnosed. Surgical resection was performed through median sternotomy by support of cardiopulmonary bypass. The tumour was removed in an en-bloc fashion by right pneumonectomy and combined main pulmonary artery resection. Main pulmonary artery was reconstructed with Hemashield vascular graft. R0 resection was achieved and the patient was discharged 1 week after operation without any complication.

Conclusions: Pulmonary artery sarcoma could be completely and safely resected by support of cardiopulmonary bypass.
