Surgical Treatment of Right Ventricular Hydatid Cyst

Abstract

<jats:p>Hydatid cyst is a serious endemic parasitic disease found in cattle-raising areas of the world. Cardiac hydatid cysts are rare and appear in 0.5% to 2% of hydatid cyst cases. A 24-year-old male patient was admitted to the hospital because of chest pain. A cystic mass (4 4 3 cm) was demonstrated with transthoracic echocardiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. A hydatid cyst was located in the right ventricular wall near the inferior branch of the acute marginal branch of the right coronary artery and was located such that it pushed the tricuspid valve inward. The cystic materials were removed with the patient on cardiopulmonary bypass. The surgery for cardiac hydatid disease is safe, and the results are satisfactory.</jats:p>

Intramyocardial hydatic cyst in a young man – successful excision with cardiopulmonary bypass: case report

“…Similarly, CT and MRI give more information about the existence of intrathoracic and extrathoracic cysts. 3 For subepicardial cysts, surgery without cardiopulmonary bypass has been reported. 2 However, where a large cyst is found within the myocardium, or is invading both ventricles, rupture of the cyst may result in anaphylactic shock, embolism and sudden death.…”

“…Although surgical treatment for this wound pattern is controversial among surgeons of the upper extremity, certain management principles are valid in all cases. Although the principles and clinical outcomes of different surgical treatments vary [8], all plastic surgeons have adapted their own approaches to improve postoperative outcomes and avoid any long-term morbidity risks [9–11].…”
