We report a rare case of hydatidosis of the right heart. Our young patient had know pulmonary hydatidosis and presented precordial chest pain, increasing dyspnea, cough and hemoptysis. Echocardiography, confirmed by angiocardiography delineated the right ventricular cyst. The operation was performed under extra corporal circulation (ECC), moderate hypothermia with cold cardioplegia. The echinococcal cyst was removed after local instillation of 0.5% silver nitrate solution. The postoperative course was uneventful.

Lung bleeding (LB) and hemoptysis is a common but life-threating complication of balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. LBs related to BPA mostly occur acutely during BPA session. Therefore, it can usually be managed with occlusion balloon or other catheter-based approaches. While LB also develops subacutely after BPA session, the pharmacological option to subacute LB is currently limited. Here, we present a case of subacute LB which can be managed with intravenous administration of nitroglycerin. Nitrate mediated venous dilation can be an effective therapeutic option in managing LB and hemoptysis after BPA session.
