RBCCV 44205-911Revascularização do miocárdio em paciente com situs inversus totalis e dextrocardia Coronary artery bypass grafting in a patient with situs inversus totalis and dextrocardia AbstractSitus inversus totalis is a rare congenital anomaly. We report a case of a 78-year-old woman with this condition and ischemic coronary artery disease who underwent myocardial revascularization. The cardiac catheterism showed severe proximal stenosis with aneurysms in the anterior interventricular branch, diagonal artery, and right coronary artery. The procedure was done with the surgeon positioned in the left hand side of the patient, with the right internal thoracic artery anastomosed to the anterior interventricular branch, and to two more vein grafts. Very few cases have been reported in the world and this is the third case in Brazil, and the first in the world with coronary aneurysms.
