摘要：

Situs inversus totalis denotes that the heart and all body organs are the mirror image of one another. Understanding the surgical anatomy is crucial for the proper surgical plan, as the surgeon needs to tailor any operative procedure to improve surgical exposure. Here, we are reporting a rare case of emergency mitral valve replacement for acute severe mitral insufficiency secondary to infective endocarditis in a previously known case of dextrocardia with situs inversus totalis.
