Introduction
Dextrocardia is a rare congenital cardiac malformation with an incidence of 0.83 per 10,000 births, characterized by displacement of the cardiac apex to the right of the thoracic midline., Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA) is a congenital malformation characterized by atrioventricular (AV) and ventriculoarterial discordance where patients are at increased risk of conduction system blocks and need for pacemaker (PM) implantation.– PM implantation is a complex procedure in patients with situs inversus dextrocardia (SID) and CCTGA because of altered anatomy and operator inexperience. Herein we present a case of SID) and CCTGA who underwent a successful transvenous permanent PM implantation via left subclavian vein for permanent complete heart block.
