Dextrocardia with situs inversus is a rare congenital anomaly in which the heart and the abdominal organs orient themselves in a mirror-image reversal of the normal anatomy. Coronary artery disease incidence is similar to that of the normal population. Performing coronary artery bypass grafting in this subset of the population poses few difficulties. These limitations can be overcome by few technical adjustments by the surgeon and the team which will be discussed in our article.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
