Coronary angioplasty in a patient with situs inversus totalis and a single coronary artery

Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn. 1994 Apr;31(4):304-8. doi: 10.1002/ccd.1810310412.

Abstract

A patient with congenital situs inversus totalis and a single coronary artery was referred for revascularization because of progressive disabling angina. Exercise thallium scintigraphy had disclosed ischaemia in the anterolateral, posterolateral, and inferior wall of the left ventricle. Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty was performed successfully for stenoses in the right coronary artery.
