    AbstractSitus inversus totalis and mirror-image dextrocardia is a rare congenital anomaly. A 79-year-old man with a history of atrial fibrillation presented to our hospital with chest oppression. Chest X-ray and computed tomography showed mirror-image dextrocardia and situs inversus totalis. Echocardiography revealed severe mitral and aortic regurgitation and mild tricuspid regurgitation. Mitral and aortic valve replacement using bioprosthesises, tricuspid annuloplasty and closure of the left atrial appendage were successfully performed. Surgical procedures were mainly performed by the surgeon standing on the left side of the patient, and by the assistant standing on the right side when necessary. The patient was discharged in good condition on the 23th postoperative day.
