Abstract

Acquired pulmonary artery stenosis which is secondary to tuberculosis is so rare that only a few scattered cases have been reported. We report one case of pulmonary stenosis caused by pulmonary tuberculosis.l A 50 year old man who gradually developed dyspnea was diagnosed as bilateral pulmonary stenosis, he underwent bypass surgery between the main diagnosed as bilateral pulmonary stenosis. he underwent bypass surgery between the main pulmonary artery and the right pulomonary artery with a 13mm Gortex ringed straight graft. The left pulmonary artery was too small to restore the perfusion. The patient was discharged on the 33rd day after the operation. Acquired pulmonary stenosis could be treated successfully with one-side pulmonary arery reconstruction.
