| Abstract: |
We report our experience of a patient suffering from severe coronary artery disease and situs inversus totalis with dextrocardia and Kartagner’s syndrome. The Surgeon was standing on the left side of the patient, performed coronary artery bypass grafting by harvesting the right internal mammary artery and Saphenous Vein grafts and the patient survived the procedure without any complications. We conclude that coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is not contraindicated in case of Kartagner’s syndrome with dextrocardia and it can be done safely from the left side of the patient. |
