Cardiac echinococcosis: report of 3 cases and review of the literature

G Tellez, C Nojek, A Juffe, J Rufilanchas, F O'Connor and D Figuera

Three patients who underwent successful surgical treatment of cardiac hydatid disease are discussed. The nonspecificity of diagnostic measures and the importance of keeping this diagnosis in mind when faced with a patient coming from an area where hydatidosis is endemic are stressed. We propose the use of cardiopulmonary bypass in the surgical treatment of this problem.
