TEJEDA-CAMARGO, Miguel J. et al. Pacemaker implant in a patient with dextrocardia and situs inversus. Challenges and solutions. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2022, vol.29, n.2, pp.231-234.  Epub 19-Maio-2022. ISSN 0120-5633.  https://doi.org/10.24875/rccar.m22000131.

Dextrocardia is a rare congenital anomaly that may or may not be associated with other congenital malformations; adults with this condition may have sinus disease or atrioventricular conduction disorders. The viscero-atrial configuration associated with dextrocardia should be analyzed to define the necessary tools (vascular ultrasound, venous angiogram, modified fluoroscopic views, etc.) to successfully perform the implantation of transvenous devices in these patients. The following is the case of a patient with dextrocardia and situs inversus who underwent implantation of a permanent dual chamber pacemaker due to sinus dysfunction.
