Abstract

This is a case report of an unusual case of a patient with dextrocardia and "situs inversus totalis" who presented with unstable angina. Coronary angiography revealed severe main stem and severe triple vessel coronary artery disease. The patient later underwent successful emergency coronary artery bypass graft surgery. To the authors' knowledge this is the first reported case in Malaysia and also, the first ever report in the literature of multiple vessel coronary artery grafting, including the use of the right internal mammary artery.
