Role of cardiac magnetic resonance in patients with chest pain and pulmonary aneurysm

Aneurysm of Main Pulmonary Artery (MPA) is a rare condition in which aetiology and pathogenesis are not well known. The diagnostic role of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) in many pathological conditions is growing, because of its high spatial resolution and reproducibility. Moreover, the use of contrast agent allows the possibility to define tissue characterization even for vessel structures.
