C. Reithmann, E. Hoffmann, U. Dorwarth, T. Remp and G. Steinbeck

Department of Internal Medicine I, Grosshadern University Hospital Munich, Germany

A 72-year-old woman with complete situs inversus underwent successful slow pathway ablation of typical AV nodal reentrant tachycardia. Catheter ablation of AV nodal reentrant tachycardia in dextrocardia required a lengthy procedure but was safe and without complications.
