Dextrocardia with situs solitus and mitral valve insufficiency requiring surgical treatment are rare clinical presentations. In this article, we report a 64-year-old female patient with dextrocardia and situs solitus, who was referred to our hospital for surgical treatment of severe mitral valve insufficiency. Mitral valve replacement with a 31-mm mechanical valve prosthesis was performed through the left atrium, while the surgeon stood on the left side of the patient having an excellent exposure.
