Implantation of a Bi-Ventricular Pacing System in the Setting of Dextrocardia with Situs Inversus Totalis

چکیده
Dextrocardia with situs inversus totalis is a rare disorder but is frequently associated with anomalous venous return. Pacemaker/Internal Cardioverter Defibrillator implantation in this population can be difficult given the difficult venous anatomy. This case illustrates how beforehand knowledge of the venous anatomy by cardiac MRI can facilitate device implantation.

A Rare Case of Dextrocardia with Situs Inversus Totalis in a Patient of Diabetic Mother
Infants of diabetic mothers are significantly at higher risk for major congenital malformations, with cardiovascular anomalies that is the most frequent. In this study, we presented a rare case of dextrocardia and situs inversus totalis (mirror-image dextrocardia) with multiple congenital heart anomalies who was born from a diabetic mother.
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...
متن کاملImplantable cardioverter-defibrillator in a patient with dextrocardia situs inversus
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. Case presentation: A 54-year-old male with dextrocardia situs inversus and i...
متن کاملPEComa of the uterus with coexistence of situs inversus totalis, a case report and literature review
PEComas are a group of very rare mesenchymal neoplasms, which express myogenic and melanocytic markers, such as HMB-45 and actin. Situs inversus totalis represents a complete left to right side transposition of the asymmetrical thoracic and abdominal organs and incorporates dextrocardia. The presence of uterus PEComa in the setting of situs inversus totalis is extremely rare. Here, we report a ...
متن کاملSitus inversus totalis with azoospermia in a patient presenting with liver abscess
Situs inversus with dextrocardia is a rare congenital anomaly. Azoospermia and situs inversus may be encountered in ciliary dyskinesia syndromes. We report the case of a 30-year-old male who manifested situs inversus totalis, dextrocardia and azoospermia with maturation arrest at primary spermatogenesis who presented with liver abscess. The patient responded well to treatment with i.v. metronid...
