    Author: Kaynak K, Köksal C, Kazimoğlu K, Ozbek C.
    Journal: Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann; 2002 Sep; 10(3):259-61. PubMed ID: 12213754.
    Abstract:
    Three patients with arterial echinococcosis presented with chronic or acute arterial occlusion. One case diagnosed as Leriche's syndrome was found at surgery to have aortic occlusion caused by hydatid cysts; arterial reconstruction was performed by aortoiliac interposition of a woven Dacron vascular graft. In the other 2 cases presenting with acute femoral or brachial artery occlusion, embolectomy revealed hydatid cysts as the cause of occlusion.
