Off-pump quintuple coronary artery bypass grafting for situs inversus totalis.
Dextrocardia associated with situs inversus totalis is a rare condition. A 49-year-old man with dextrocardia and situs inversus totalis underwent off-pump quintuple coronary artery bypass grafting using bilateral internal thoracic arteries and bilateral radial arteries. The operative technique was similar to that of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting for situs solitus. His postoperative recovery was uneventful.
