Abstract

Background: Atrial septal defect (ASD) is a relatively rare among patients with situs inversus dextrocardia with concordant atrioventricular (AV) connection and a minimally invasive approach in dextrocardia has yet to be standardized. The present case describes surgical closure of ostium secundum ASD by left mini-thoracotomy approach in patient with dextrocardia and situs inversus.

Case presentation: The present case describes a 44-year female diagnosed with ostium secundum ASD in dextrocardia with situs inversus. The patient underwent minimal invasive ASD closure by left anterolateral thoracotomy approach (LALT). The procedure has achieved good clinical and cosmetic results

Conclusion: This article describes surgical techniques to overcome the challenges in subset of dextrocardia with situs inversus patients.
