A way of finding out would be to drain the cysts percutaneously and see. Whilst MMVD can cause rhythm issues there are other cardiac abnormalities.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;"&gt;Ultimately they can be omentalised - straightforward procedure - normally resolves the issue. Probably a 10-15 minute procedure at most, some people do it laparoscopically but that lengthens the GA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
