Section of Thoracic Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Chicago Hospitals, Pritzker School of Medicine, Chicago, Illinois

Accepted for publication October 30, 1996.

We report the case of a pericardial cyst producing high-grade right ventricular outflow tract obstruction and its subsequent management. The clinical importance of transesophageal echocardiography is highlighted.
