Surgical treatment of myocardial echinococcosis of the left ventricle of the heart
Abstract
Despite development of various modern diagnostic methods, timely detection of echinococcus still
remains a complicated task and an urgent problem of medical parasitology. Optimal treatment tactics for such patients allows obtaining good results with radical surgical treatment. Two rare cases
of multifocal echinococcosis are presented, including left ventricle myocardium involvement.
