Objective  To discuss the strategy of surgical treatment for cardiac cystic echinococcosis. Methods  We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 26 patients diagnosed with cardiac cystic echinococcosis between February 1978 and April 2013 in our hospital. There were 11 females and 15 females at a mean age of 28.9±7.6 years ranging 8-60 years. All patients underwent endocyst-punctured cystectomy, enucleation of intact endocyst and total cyst resection. Results  All 26 surgeries were successful and there was no perioperative mortality. The mean time of operation was 110±32 minutes, and the mean time of hospital stay was 8.1±2.3 days. The mean follow-up time of 22 patients was 75±11 months ranging 15-190 months. There were 4 patients who were lost to follow-up. There were three recurrences and one late death. Conclusions  We should choose the proper surgical method based on the patients’ condition.There is a certain effect and a low recurrance for surgical treatment of cardiac cystic echinococcosis.
