    Abstract:
    This report presents the case of an 82-year-old man with known dextrocardia and situs inversus totalis who presented with increasing dyspnea on exertion and was diagnosed with severe aortic stenosis. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement was performed and required deviation from standard techniques for patients with normal anatomy and left-sided aortic arch. We describe two technical differences required for patients with dextrocardia and right-sided aortic arch that facilitate transcatheter aortic valve replacement in this patient group.
