Abstract

A hydatid cyst of the heart is rare. Surgical treatment is the preferable method in the treatment of cardiac echinococcosis. A 27-year-old patient with right ventricular hydatid cyst causing recurrent pulmonary emboli and diagnosed by 2-dimensional echocardiography and treated surgically is presented.
