Key result
Surgical removal of a right mesothelial pericardial cyst in a 51-year-old male resulted in the resolution of intractable atrial arrhythmias, with the patient remaining in sinus rhythm at 12 months.

May support cyst resection for select intractable arrhythmias; hypothesis-generating and does not yet change practice.
Case Report (n=1)
Surgical resection of a pericardial cyst may be considered when it is suspected to cause intractable atrial arrhythmias.
Generali et al. (2011) conducted a case report in Intractable atrial arrhythmias and pericardial cyst (n=1). Surgical removal of pericardial cyst was evaluated on Clinical status and heart rhythm. Surgical removal of a right mesothelial pericardial cyst in a 51-year-old male resulted in the resolution of intractable atrial arrhythmias, with the patient remaining in sinus rhythm at 12 months.
