Dynamic right ventricular outflow tract obstruction by cardiac hydatic cysts: A multimodality imaging study

We report the case of massive hydatic heart disease in a 50‐year‐old male patient referred to hospital for recent‐onset dyspnea, atypical chest, and hypotension. Right ventricular outflow tract obstruction was demonstrated to be caused by hypoechogenic formations at Doppler‐echocardiography and conf...

Zusammenfassung:	We report the case of massive hydatic heart disease in a 50‐year‐old male patient referred to hospital for recent‐onset dyspnea, atypical chest, and hypotension. Right ventricular outflow tract obstruction was demonstrated to be caused by hypoechogenic formations at Doppler‐echocardiography and confirmed to be hydatic cysts at cardiac magnetic resonance. These cysts developed within the right ventricular wall and the septum, and caused hemodynamic instability.
