Abstract:
Pulmonary arterial intimal sarcomas (PAIS) are rare malignancies with a poor prognosis. Sarcomas present with signs and symptoms mimicking pulmonary thromboembolic disease, delaying the diagnosis. We present a 29-year-old male patient diagnosed with PAIS in the right and main pulmonary arteries extending to the left pulmonary leaflet. The patient was treated with pulmonary endarterectomy and pulmonary leaflet reconstruction using the Ozaki technique.
