Concomitant Intramyocardial and Pulmonary Hydatid Cyst: A Rare Case Report [1]
Cardiac hydatid cyst is an uncommon but potentially fatal disease. Humans are accidental hosts of cystic echinococcosis, and the liver and lungs are the most frequently involved organs. This video shows a unique case of an intramyocardial hydatid cyst of the left ventricle and a pulmonary hydatid cyst in a 38-year-old female patient. Surgical removal of the cardiac hydatid cyst was done with the aid of cardiopulmonary bypass, followed by removal of the pulmonary hydatid cyst.
