Abstract:
A right-sided heart associated with mirror-image atrial arrangement (situs inversus) is a rare condition. The incidence of coronary arterial disease in this setting is probably similar to that in the general population. Description of coronary angiography in this condition is very rare. We have recently catheterized such a patient. The necessary approach to coronary angiography is emphasized.
