Left Transradial Coronary Angiography in a Patient With Dextrocardia

Although dextrocardia occurs rarely, the incidence of coronary artery disease is similar to the general population.

Sumario:Although dextrocardia occurs rarely, the incidence of coronary artery disease is similar to the general population. Because of unfamiliarity with performing catheterization, transradial coronary angiography has seldom been performed in a patient with dextrocardia. We successfully performed left transradial coronary angiography in a patient with a right side heart using counter-directional torquing of the catheters and mirror-image angiographic angles.
