[Hydatid localization in the proximal tract of the right branch of the pulmonary artery. Description of a case].
Hydatid localization in the major branches of the pulmonary circulation have rarely been reported. The AA. describe the case of a young male patient, previously operated for pulmonary and hepatic hydatidosis, who was unresponsive to medical treatment and died of right heart failure. At necropsy a large hydatid cyst occluding the right proximal branch of the artery was found.
