Successful Percutaneous Coronary Interventionin a Patient with Dextrocardia and Situs Inversus-a case report

چکیده
Dextrocardia is a rare congenital anomaly of development characterized by a mirrorimage position of the heart. Unlike dextrocardia with situs solitus or ambiguus, the coincidence of congenital heart disease is relatively low among dextrocardic patients with situs inversus. However, patients with dextrocardia may suffer from coronary heart disease as do people with normally positioned hearts. Few cases of coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with dextrocardia have been reported. This is a case of a 48-year-old male patient with dextrocardia who developed unstable angina and was able to undergo diagnostic catheterization and percutaneous coronary intervention. We successfully performed percutaneous coronary angioplasty followed by coronary stenting to the left circumflex artery (LCX) and described our experience in the selection of the guiding catheters (standard preformed catheters), angiographic image acquisition (mirror image views with subtle modification) and coronary catheter engaging techniques (opposite-direction catheter rotations).

Triple vessel percutaneous coronary intervention in a patient with situs inversus dextrocardia using a transradial approach.
Situs inversus dextrocardia is a challenging situation for an interventional cardiologist. This report presents a rare case where multivessel percutaneous coronary intervention was performed in a single sitting using transradial approach. The challenges encountered in the procedure and clues to successful outcome are discussed.
متن کاملMyocardial Perfusion SPECT Imaging in Dextrocardia with Situs Inversus: A Case Report
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...

Dextrocardia with situs inversus is a rare clinical entity with an estimated incidence ranges from 1 in 8000 to 1 in10,000. Percutaneous intervention in patient with dextrocardia and situs inversus is clinically challenging due to abnormal orientation of coronary geometry and the intervention requires appropriate use of guiding catheters, engagement technique, appropriate radiological angles as...
متن کاملSuccessful Drug-eluting Stent Implantation in a Male Patient with Dextrocardia: A Case Report
Situs inversus with dextrocardia is a rare condition, with complete transposition of all the body organs, including the heart. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in these patients is technically difficult because of the mirror image of organs. Here, we describe a 56-year-old man with coronary heart disease with known situs inversus with dextrocardia and coronary percutaneous intervention ...
متن کاملPercutaneous coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction in a patient with dextrocardia.
Situs inversus with dextrocardia is a rare congenital anomaly. There are limited published case reports of successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in these patients who have atherosclerotic coronary artery disease, especially when presenting with acute myocardial infarction. PCI is technically difficult because of mirror image dextrocardia. We hereby describe a 48-yr-old female, who...
