چکیده
Figure 1: CT images. (A) Preoperative three-dimensional CT image. Dextrocardia was observed preoperatively. The branches of the aortic arch were mirror-image reversed. (B) Postoperative three-dimensional CT image. Reconstructed aorta and branches were also mirror-image reversed. RV: right ventricle; Ao: aorta; BCA: brachiocephalic artery; Rt.SCA: right subclavian artery; Rt.CCA: right common carotid artery.

In dextrocardia, the main base-apex cardiac axis is directed to the right side of the chest. The majority of dextrocardia is associated with situs solitus and either normally related or L-transposed great vessels. Dextrocardia with situs inversus is rare and presents in different forms depending on the atrio-ventricular (AV) and ventricular-aterial (VA) relationship. We report a rare case of de...

Dextrocardia is a cardiac positional anomaly in which the heart is located in the right hemithorax with its base-to-apex axis directed to the right and caudad. Situs inversus is an autosomal recessive disorder that causes organs in the chest and abdomen to be positioned in a mirror image from their normal position. Dextrocardia may occur in isolation or as part of situs inversus. Similarly, sit...

Background: Dextrocardia is a congenital anomaly, which may have coexistent coronary artery disease (CAD), arrhythmias and conventional indications for device therapy. However, the implantation of transvenous leads can be technically challenging and the approach needs to be tailored to the patient's individual anatomy.
