ABSTRACT
Situs inversus totalis is a congenital anomaly characterized by a mirror image transposition of the normal visceral organs, which makes it difficult to perform aortic surgery accurately. Stanford type A aortic dissection in patients with this condition is very rare and difficult to assess and manage. We report a case of Stanford type A aortic dissection with situs inversus totalis. The patient presented with severe tricuspid regurgitation with annulus enlargement due to chronic atrial fibrillation, requiring ascending aortic replacement and tricuspid annuloplasty. These procedures were performed after the operator swapped the left and right positions during the operation. Postoperative course was uneventful. By carefully checking the preoperative computed tomography images and changing the operator's position during the operation, it is possible to safely perform Stanford type A aortic dissection surgery in patients with situs inversus totalis.
