We present a clinical case of mitral insufficiency in a 59-year-old patient with dextrocardia and complete transposition of the viscera. The patient underwent mitral valve posterior leaflet repair and annuloplasty. During the operation, a "mirror inversion" of the equipment and surgery team position was carried out. The special feature of the operation was due to the fact that the aorta and great vessels in the wound were mirror-image. The postoperative period proceeded without complications. Being aware of the patient's dextrocardia and hence organizing the surgical procedure appropriately, we could achieve good results in radical surgery for valvular heart disease.
