Both the cysts were removed using CPB via midline sternotomy. Superior cyst was removed in mass; while inferior cyst opened, daughter cyst and germinal membrane removed & cavity marsupialized aft er instillation of 3% hypertonic saline as it was densely adhesive to posterior wall of left ventricle (LV). Patient was successfully discharged on 8th post-operative day with albendazole therapy and on regular follow-up without any complications.
