Abstract
The case of a successful orthotopic heart transplantation for complete situs inversus with double-inlet left ventricle and anomalies of the systemic venous return is reported. A piece of aortic homograft and a composite conduit made of the recipient right atrium and pericardium were used to connect, respectively, the left superior vena cava and the hepatic veins to the right-sided atrium of the donor heart.
