Case report: left ventricular echinococcosis diagnosed by coronary cineangiography

J V Montoyo et al. Eur J Cardiol. 1979 Sep.

Abstract

This report presents a case of echinococcosis of the left ventricle treated surgically with success. Coronary cineangiography showed a circular capillary blush. This supports the view that this sign might well prove to be pathognomonic of this condition, as has been recently pointed out in another similar case. The diagnostic value of coronary cineangiography in left ventricular echinococcosis is emphasized.
