Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair in A Situs Inversus Totalis Patient with Debakey Type 3 Dissection

Situs inversus totalis is a rare autosomal recessive congenital anomaly. There are very few reports in the published literature of abdominal aortic aneurysm in patient with situs inversus totalis, all of whom underwent open aneurysm repair. DeBakey type III acute aortic dissection is life threatening condition with organ malperfusion. A 74-year-old male, referred our department with back pain and dyspnea. Contrastenhanced computed tomography (CT) suggested DeBakey type III aortic dissection and situs inversus totalis. Thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR) were successfully performed. Postoperative control CT showed succesfull treatment of the DeBakey type III dissection with TEVAR in a situs inversus totalis patient. His postoperative course was uneventful. With situs inversus totalis, which is the first case in the literature that DeBakey type 3 dissection is treated with TEVAR. TEVAR is applicable in Situs inversus totalis patients.
