Pulmonary artery aneurysm presenting with dissection and hemopericardium is extremely rare, and we came across one such case in our center. The patient was a 22-year-old man who presented with dyspnoea, tachypnoea, and pallor. On evaluation, he was found to have a leaking pulmonary artery aneurysm with dissection and hemopericardium, and a patent ductus arteriosus. He underwent pericardiocentesis followed by successful closure of the ductus, aneurysmectomy, and reconstruction of the pulmonary artery.
