In this case report we present a patient with dextrocardia, who undergone implantation of dual chamber implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). Here we aimed to underline several specific considerations which must be noted when one considers to implant an ICD in a patient with dextrocardia.

Although dextrocardia occurs rarely, the incidence of coronary artery disease is similar to the general population. Because of unfamiliarity with performing catheterization, transradial coronary angiography has seldom been performed in a patient with dextrocardia. We successfully performed left transradial coronary angiography in a patient with a right side heart using counter-directional torqu...

The operation of D-transposition of the great arteries is performed extremely rarely in patients with mirror image dextrocardia and situs inversus totalis. Therefore, it is not surprising that such unusual anatomy case presents problems with primary operation. We present a case of late right pulmonary artery stenosis after neonatal surgical anatomic correction of mirror image dextrocardia and s...

Abstract Background Dextrocardia is a rare congenital condition with prevalence of 0.83 per 10000 pregnancies. Its most common configuration situs inversus totalis, also known as “mirror-image dextrocardia”. This case report presents clinical symptomatic sinus node dysfunction requiring permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) in patient mirror-image dextrocardia. Case summary A 81-year-old femal...

TOPIC: Cardiovascular Disease TYPE: Medical Student/Resident Case Reports INTRODUCTION: Dextrocardia is a rare disorder that occurs in 1 10,000 patients. Unlike situs inversus, this patient had isolated dextrocardia with otherwise normal position of the abdominal organs namely solitus. This anatomy poses diagnostic challenges setting acute coronary syndrome. Coronary angiography was performed w...

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...

Dextrocardia with polysplenia is one of a large spectrum of situs anomalies. In most cases, there are associated cardiovascular abnormalities. We report the case of a patient with dextrocardia, polysplenia, situs ambiguous, and interruption of the inferior vena cava, with an azygos vein continuation. He underwent surgery to replace the aortic valve and the ascending aorta, and to insert a doubl...

The case of a 40-year-old male with dextrocardia who presented with ST Elevated Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) is reported. Coronary angiogram was performed after due manipulation and then successful primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of Left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery was done. His 9 months follow up primary PCI in a patient with angiogram revealed patent stent in p...

Poland syndrome is characterized by unilateral absence or hypoplasia of the pectoralis muscle and variable degree of ipsilateral hand anomalies. Möbius syndrome is a congenital neurological disorder characterized by complete or partial facial paralysis. Although the pathogeneses of these diseases are not well-characterized, diminished blood flow to the affected side is thought to play a role. A...

Situs inversus with dextrocardia is an uncommon condition and is present in approximately 0.02% of the general population. Infrahepatic interruption of the inferior vena cava (IVC) is a congenital anomaly found in 1.3%–3.0% of patients with congenital heart disease, and it occurs in 8– 18% of patients with dextrocardia. In this condition, the IVC is interrupted above the renal branches, and sys...
