Primary percutaneous coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction in a patient with situs inversus dextrocardia

Situs inversus with dextrocardia is a rare congenital anomaly of development characterized by a mirror-image position of the heart and abdominal viscera. It occurs rarely in the general population, with an estimated incidence of 1:8000 to 1:10,000. Very few case reports exist of successful primary percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and stenting in such patients. Here we report a case with dextrocardia and coronary artery disease (CAD) who underwent Primary PTCA and successful stenting of the culprit lesion.
