Abstrakt:	Situs inversus with dextrocardia is a rare congenital anomaly that presents a unique challenge for the consultant electrophysiologist. Implantation of cardiac device in these patients may be challenging owing to their individual cardiac and vascular anatomy. Consequently, adverse procedural outcomes are more common in this group and an informed pre- and intraoperative approach is critical. In this article, we present the relevant patient findings and implications for the electrophysiologist, including operative approaches. We then examine them in the context of an actual case, having implanted an intracardiac permanent pacemaker with a right-sided approach via the conventional method in a patient with dextrocardia situs inversus who had undergone multiple surgeries for structural heart disease.
