Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in a Cancer Patient with Dextrocardia and Situs Inversus

Patrick Lahoud

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: October 25, 2019

Although dextrocardia occurs rarely, the incidence of coronary artery disease is similar to the general population. Few cases of coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with dextrocardia have been reported.

Nocardiosis can be localized to a single organ, such as the skin or lung, or disseminated. Immunocompetent patients who are affected typically experience a chronic course involving one organ, most commonly the lu...

Pectus excavatum is a congenital deformation of the chest, presenting as a funnel-shaped impression in the median frontal chest between the fourth and the seventh rib. Asymmetric presentation occurs, and the extent of deformation may vary from slight to serious.
