Abstract

Three patients diagnosed with hydatid cysts of the heart underwent surgical treatment. The cysts were enucleated and the cavities were closed in 2 cases by plication and obliteration. In one case, the cystic cavity was closed with biologic glue. The outcome was satisfactory in all 3 patients. Postoperative treatment with albendazole is recommended.
