Abstract

The incidence of dextrocardia with situs inversus is uncommon with a reported incidence of 1 in 10000 live births. Patients with dextrocardia undergoing Coronary artery bypass surgery are very rare. The rate of coronary heart disease in situs inversus, however, is similar to that of the general population. We report two cases of CABG in our institution involving 2 patients with dextrocardia and situs inversus. Both the patients had excellent recovery. We present the technical difficulties in performing the operation with possible improvisations, which makes it an interesting case report. More importantly, we believe there is few documented case report of CABG in such a patient cured with totally off pump technique using conventional off pump apparatus.
