Giant Pericardial Cyst Compressing the Right Ventricle (original) (raw)

A case study of a 50-year-old man who presented with right ventricular failure and ascites after laparoscopic cholecystectomy revealed a giant pericardial cyst compressing the right ventricle. Diagnostic imaging, including echocardiography and computed tomography, confirmed the presence of a significant mass. Surgical removal of the cyst was performed successfully, with the postoperative period being uneventful. This case highlights the importance of considering pericardial cysts in patients presenting with unexplained cardiac symptoms.
