Abstract: | Dextrocardia with situs inversus totalis is a rare disorder but is frequently associated with anomalous venous return. Pacemaker/Internal Cardioverter Defibrillator implantation in this population can be difficult given the difficult venous anatomy. This case illustrates how beforehand knowledge of the venous anatomy by cardiac MRI can facilitate device implantation. |
