Core Tip
Core Tip: Dextroversion can be even more challenging given the distortion of normal anatomical relationships and the uncertainty of the accurate location and borders of the cardiac structures caused by the shift and rotation effected by the pathologic process. We present a complicated but successful case of implantation of a leadless pacemaker in a patient with cardiac dextroversion.
