  • Title: [Dextrocardia in situs inversus totalis with obstructive coronary disease. Its treatment by coronary angioplasty by the brachial approach].
    Author: da Silva MJ, Arie S, Garcia DP, Bellotti G, Pileggi F.
    Journal: Arq Bras Cardiol; 1992 Oct; 59(4):303-7. PubMed ID: 1341186.
    Abstract:
    Dextrocardia in "situs inversus totalis" with obstructive coronary disease is a rare clinical situation, with few cases treated by coronary angioplasty using the femoral approach being reported. In this report we describe the case of a 61-year-old male patient who underwent successful dilatation of two arteries by the brachial approach. We discuss technical aspects related to the procedure, which may be easily performed when proper equipment is available.
