ABSTRACT
Dextrocardia with situs inversus is a rare congenital anomaly of development involving a left-handed malrotation of the visceral organs which affects approximately 110,000 patients. It is known that the prevalence of coronary atherosclerosis in patients with dextrocardia is similar to that of the general population. Successful coronary angiography and coronary angioplasty have previously been reported in patients with dextrocardia, but to our knowledge no report exist of a successful coronary angioplasty in a patient with dextrocardia with situs inversus in Korea. We performed a successful percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty of an infarct-related vessel in a acute myocardial infarction patient with dextrocardia with situs inversus.
