[Echinococcosis of the heart]
Abstract:
Although echinococcosis in different parts of the world and also in some sheep raising regions of our country belongs to a pretty frequent parasitary entity, the localisation of hydatid cyst in cardiac muscle is relatively rare: according to different authors it amounts only to 0,02-2% of all the echinococcoses. Heyat and al. in their cummulative world statistic up to 1971 collected only 118 surgically treated cases. The problematic of this pathology is presented. Beside a proper in extracorporeal circulation successfully operated case of an echinococcosis of the left ventricle, recent possibilities of exact preoperative localisation with the aid of coronarography and left ventricular cineangiography are presented.
