Coronary angioplasty in a patient with situs inversus totalis and a single coronary artery.
A patient with congenital situs inversus totalis and a single coronary artery was referred for revascularization because of progressive disabling angina. Exercise thallium scintigraphy had disclosed ischaemia in the anterolateral, posterolateral, and inferior wall of the left ventricle. Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty was performed successfully for stenoses in the right coronary artery.
