Leadless pacemaker implantation in dextrocardia with situs viscerum
inversus: a case report and literature review
Abstract
Leadless pacemaker implantation (LPI) has fewer device complications and
reduced chance of infection compared to conventional pacemakers.
Dextrocardia with situs viscerum inversus (DC+SVI) is a rare condition,
which seldom leads to cardiac complications. However, its presence poses
a challenge to operators in cardiac procedures. LPI reports in DC
patients are scarce. We report a case of LPI in a DC+SVI patient,
followed by a brief but comprehensive literature review.
