Few cases of dextrocardia complicated with CAD was reported before. The feasibility and prognosis of percutaneous coronary intervention （PCI） in such case still remains unclear because of the uncommon anatomical abnormality, especially in the drug-eluting stent （DES） era. Here we report a female case with dextrocardia and CAD was successfully treated by DES implantation.展开更多
