Dextrocardia and situs inversus with coronary artery disease poses unique challenges with respect to presentation and diagnosis. From a surgical point of view, the main decision-making revolves around the strategy of revascularization: the choice of right internal thoracic artery or the left internal thoracic artery for the left anterior descending artery anastomosis, the operating surgeon standing on the left or the right side of the operating table, and the choice of arterial or venous conduits. We report a case of total arterial revascularization using off pump coronary artery bypass technique in a case of dextrocardia with situs inversus using We discuss the various challenges involved in the diagnosis and management.

Kartagener syndrome is a rare ciliopathic genetic disorder characterized by a triad of chronic sinusitis, situs inversus, and bronchiectasis. The underlying pathophysiology involves reduced ciliary motility due to defects in ciliary structure and function within the respiratory tract and fallopian tubes. Diagnosis is typically confirmed through imaging studies such as X-rays, CT scans, and echocardiograms, which reveal the abnormal orientation of the heart and other organs.

We report wide QRS complexes appearing in conjunction with prolonged R-R intervals in a 5- year old patient with situs ambiguous and mirror image dextrocardia, who had undergone ASD and VSD closure at of the age of one. We present differential diagnoses of intermittent spontaneous QRS widening and refer to ECG lead positioning in mirror image dextrocardia patients.

Background: Reports from China describe an increase in the frequency of fetal situs inversus in 2023 after the country's "zero-Covid" policy was lifted, suggesting an association with maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, a report of birth defects surveillance data from Scandinavia observed no sustained increase during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic (2020-2022 vs. 2018-2019).

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the structure and function of cilia, primarily impacting the respiratory system. Kartagener syndrome, a subset of PCD, is characterized by situs inversus, bronchiectasis, and chronic sinusitis. Patients with PCD are prone to recurrent respiratory infections due to impaired ciliary function, which hinders effective mucus clearance and promotes pathogen colonization.
