Abstract:An anomalous inferior vena cava (IVC) is often associated with patients with dextrocardia. However, radiofrequency catheter ablation in such a case with that combination has not been reported. We encountered a case of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome with dextrocardia associated with complete situs inversus and an azygos continuation of the IVC. A steep angulation at the junction of the azygos vein and superior vena cava precluded the precise mapping of the anatomical right cavity with a femoral vein approach. Successful catheter ablation of an accessory connection between the coronary sinus and left ventricle could be achieved with a right cubital vein approach.
