Abstract
Dextrocardia with situs inversus totalis is a rare congenital condition. We report herein a first experience of video-assisted minimally invasive mitral and pulmonary valve replacement through right anterior mini-thoracotomy as reoperation in patient with this complex anomaly. The good clinical and cosmetic results demonstrate that this innovative technique can be safely performed even in difficult anatomical conditions.
