Aneurysm of the ductus arteriosus is a rare diagnosis, with most cases found in the pediatric population. The unusual adult cases reported in the literature have been associated with high morbidity and a surgical repair has been recommended. We report a case of a 60‐year‐old man who presented with hoarseness secondary to a ductus arteriosus aneurysm and underwent a repair of this abnormality via a left posterolateral thoracotomy utilizing partial cardiopulmonary bypass.
