Abstract
Cardiac involvement in hydatid disease is rare and accounts for only a small proportion of all hydatid cyst cases. Owing to the risk of life-threatening complications, including compression of cardiac chambers, cyst rupture and anaphylactic shock, surgical resection is indicated. This case report describes the surgical management of a male patient with an incidentally detected cardiac hydatid cyst located on the posterior wall of the left ventricle. The cyst was completely excised en bloc through a left ventriculotomy. This video tutorial highlights the surgical techniques and technical considerations essential for the safe and effective en bloc resection of cardiac hydatid cysts.
