[Surgical treatment of complex forms of congenital heart malformations associated with situs inversus (nine cases) (author's transl)].

Although are, situs inversus is nevertheless encountered in the surgical treatment of heart malformations. This series concerns 1 000 patients who where operated with heart-lung by-pass between 1974 and 1977. In nine cases, the heart was in the situs inversus position and the cardiac malformations associated with this condition, were complex. Yet the results were comparable to those obtained when the heart was in the normal position.
