Abstract

Severe pulmonary hypertension caused by chronic pulmonary thromboembolism may still present an indication for lung transplantation. We report a rare case in which severe pulmonary hypertension developed after pulmonary embolism of hydatid cysts. Successful treatment in this patient was achieved by complete pulmonary endarterectomy of the hydatid cysts.
