A case report of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) to treat coronary atherosclerotic lesions in a patient with dextrocardia associated with situs inversus totalis is presented. The patient was a sixty-two-year-old man who was admitted with a diagnosis of congestive heart failure. Cardiac catheterization was performed. Left ventriculography showed mild hypokinesis in segments 2 and 3 with ejection fraction of 63%. Coronary arteriography revealed 74% stenosis in segment 7 of the left anterior descending (LAD) artery. PTCA for this lesion was performed. Successful dilation was achieved with the residual stenosis in the LAD reduced from 74% to 34%. Performance of PTCA in patients with dextrocardia is extremely rare, and only 8 cases have been reported to date. However, by visualizing the procedure as a mirror image and choosing a guide catheter that permits good engagement, it appears possible to perform it like ordinary PTCA.
