ABSTRACT
A heart transplant is the gold standard therapy for patients with end-stage heart failure. In this case report, situs inversus totalis and congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries led to a unique and complex preoperative setting. Extended donor organ harvesting, donor graft rotation of 45° to the right and post-operative stenting of the superior vena cava were essential steps in the interdisciplinary management of this case. The patient was transferred to the intensive care unit with moderate inotropic support. He was discharged to rehabilitation on postoperative day 89 and eventually underwent an additional renal transplant 14 months after the cardiac transplant.
