suggests a benign course without dissection or rup- ture despite the majority of patients with PAA > 5 cm. Pulmonary arterial dilation progresses slowly over time and does not appear to cause any secondary clinical events. Echocardiography correlates well with MRI or CT and is useful in measuring PAA over time. Yearly imaging is unnecessary given the slow rate of progression.
