AbstractDextrocardia with situs inversus is a state which is characterized by abnormal positioning of the heart and other internal organs. It is a rare congenital anomaly and the exact cause is not known. More than 60 recognized genes are significant for the proper positioning and patterning of the organs in the body. However, a specific genetic cause of dextrocardia with situs inversus has not been identified and inheritance prototypes have not been established in the majority cases. There are partial available case reports of successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in these patients who have atherosclerotic coronary artery disease, especially when presenting with myocardial infarction. PCI is technically difficult because of dextrocardia. We hereby describe a 51-year-old male, who had a recent inferior wall myocardial infarction and underwent successful coronary angiography and PCI at a tertiary level hospital in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
