We report a case of chronic gastric volvulus associated with left atrial compression in a 75-year-old woman who presented with chest pain, shortness of breath, and hypotension after elective hemiarthroplasty of the left hip. The patient's medical history included a paraesophageal hernia and gastric volvulus diagnosed in 1997 but left untreated. The present diagnosis of gastric volvulus was made on the basis of a chest radiograph and subsequent computed tomography. Echocardiography showed the volvulus compressing the left atrium. Surgery to repair the defect was successful, and there were no operative or postoperative complications. A review of the world medical literature revealed that gastric volvulus is rarely reported to cause hemodynamic compromise or compression of the heart and mediastinal structures.
