Abstract
We report a case of cardiac echinococcosis in a patient who had sustained an acute myocardial infarction 1 month previously. The coronary angiographic study revealed an isolated complete intrinsic obstruction of the left anterior descending coronary artery in the area of the cyst. The cyst was surgically removed. Coronary artery bypass grafting was not performed because of distal myocardial scarring. Coronary arteriography should routinely be performed in all patients with cardiac echinococcosis.
