Dextrocardia with situs solitus is a rare congenital anomaly, often associated with intra- or extracardiac malformations. A clear understanding of the spatial orientation of the chambers of the heart for planning surgical approach, is imperative. Access to the right side of the heart, especially for repair of the tricuspid valve can be challenging. We describe a case of dextrocardia, situs solitus, inlet ventricular septal defect (VSD) with iatrogenic tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in an adult patient, highlighting the surgical aspects essential for a successful outcome.
Keywords: dextrocardia; iatrogenic; inlet ventricular septal defect; situs solitus; tricuspid regurgitation.
