Complete coronary artery bypass grafting in a patient with dextrocardia

Revascularización miocárdica completa con injertos arteriales en un paciente con dextrocardia

Introduction: dextrocardia is a rare congenital heart abnormality. Although the incidence of coronary heart disease is similar to that in the general population, few cases have been documented in the literature. Anatomic variants in this anomaly are a challenge when planning the surgical technique and the choice of graft configuration to be used. Case presentation: a 59 -year- old patient with 2-vessel coronary artery disease who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting.
