Key result
Percutaneous coronary intervention with stent implantation successfully treated an acute anterior myocardial infarction in an 88-year-old woman with cardiac dextroversion.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report demonstrates that percutaneous coronary intervention with stent implantation can be successfully performed in a patient with cardiac dextroversion presenting with an acute anterior myocardial infarction.
Supports PCI feasibility in dextroversion with acute MI; leaves open generalizability beyond single cases.
Dextrocardia associated with atrial situs solitus is commonly referred to as dextroversion. Dextroversion is a result of early interruption of normal embryological development and, therefore, rarely occurs without other associated cardiac and noncardiac anomalies. While percutaneous coronary intervention has been described in many cases of dextrocardia with situs inversus, it has not been previously described in dextroversion. We report the case of an 88-year-old woman with dextroversion who presented with an acute anterior myocardial infarction that was successfully treated with coronary stent implantation.

Mehrotra et al. (2006) conducted a case report in Acute anterior myocardial infarction with cardiac dextroversion (n=1). Percutaneous coronary intervention (coronary stent implantation) was evaluated on Successful treatment of acute anterior myocardial infarction. Percutaneous coronary intervention with stent implantation successfully treated an acute anterior myocardial infarction in an 88-year-old woman with cardiac dextroversion.
