Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty in dextrocardia: case report.

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is described in a patient with dextrocardia. Selective cannulation of the right anterior descending coronary artery (morphologic left anterior descending coronary artery) was achieved with modification of standard guiding catheters "preformed" for the normal, levo-position heart. This report demonstrates the feasibility of PTCA in patients with cardiac malposition who survive into adulthood and develop coronary atherosclerosis.
