  • Title: Biventricular implantable cardiac defibrillator in dextrocardia with situs viscerum inversus.
    Author: Belotti G, Pitì A, Curnis A.
    Journal: Ital Heart J; 2004 Jul; 5(7):559-62. PubMed ID: 15487277.
    Abstract:
    A case of dextrocardia in situs viscerum inversus, prior myocardial infarction, dilated cardiomyopathy with severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction, ventricular tachyarrhythmias and recurrent episodes of heart failure is described. Coronary artery bypass grafting for multivessel coronary artery disease had been previously performed; coronary and graft anatomy evaluation excluded the possibility of any further revascularization procedure. Electrocardiography showed left bundle branch block and echocardiography revealed significant interventricular mechanical dyssynchrony. After a complete vascular and cardiac anatomy evaluation, the patient was submitted to biventricular cardiac defibrillator implantation via a right approach and using conventional fluoroscopic equipment.
