An experience of successful triple valve surgery in mirror image dextrocardia with situs inversus totalis

Abstract

Cardiac surgery in patients with a positional anomaly of the heart is technically challenging, and very few reports exist of such surgery in patients with dextrocardia. There are three types of situs: Situs solitus (normal), situs inversus (mirror image of normal), and situs ambiguous. Cardiac surgery for acquired valvular diseases in patients with mirror image dextrocardia and situs inversus is extremely rare. In this article, we report a surgical case of mitral and aortic valve replacement and tricuspid annuloplasty in a patient with mirror image dextrocardia and situs inversus.
