Abstract

Dextrocardia is a rare cardiac disorder in which the heart is located in the right hemithorax, and the apex axis is oriented to the right. Dextrocardia with situs inversus totalis can manifest primary ciliary dyskinesia (Kartagener syndrome) caused by DNAI1 and DNAH5 gene mutations. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with dextrocardia (right side) is more challenging than in patients with levocardia (left side). This article represents a case of off-pump CABG surgery in a 63-year-old male patient.
