Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of percutaneous treatment in hydatid cysts (HCs) with at least one diameter larger than 10cm. 58 CE1 or CE3a HCs with at least one diameter larger than 10cm which were treated with catheterization between September 2016 and December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Mean age was 40 ± 17.7 (18-80). Majority of HCs were in the liver (89.6%). Median follow-up was 28months. Technical success rate was 100%; however, a second procedure was needed in 13 cysts due to recollection (n = 4), infection (n = 6), and recurrence (n = 3). Giant HCs can be effectively treated with catheterization with low complication rates.
