Pulmonary Artery Surgery

Pulmonary artery surgery may be carried out for some disorders to the pulmonary artery, including pulmonary atresia (no opening) and aneurysm (dilation of the pulmonary artery wall caused by swelling). A claim can be made if the life insured undergoes open heart surgery involving the surgical division of the breast bone to replace the diseased pulmonary artery with a graft.
