JF British Heart Journal JO Heart FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd and British Cardiovascular Society SP 1086 OP 1091 DO 10.1136/hrt.38.10.1086 VO 38 IS 10 A1 A Palant A1 V Deutsch A1 Y Kishon A1 Y Lieberman A1 J H Yahini A1 H N Neufeld YR 1976 UL http://heart.bmj.com/content/38/10/1086.abstract AB Two patients with pulmonary hydatid embolization are described and commented upon in the light of 43 similar published cases. The diagnosis was strongly suspected from the medical history and the chest x-ray films and supported by angiocardiography. The angiocardiographic features of this condition have not been described previously in detail. They include amputation and filling defects of pulmonary artery branches, which are typically located proximal to a rounded tumour-like opacity seen on the plain x-ray film. Both patients underwent successful embolectomy.
