Fig 1 (A) Pre-transplant chest x-ray (left) and computed tomography (right). (B) An intraoperative image showing a patient with situs inversus and dextrocardia. (C) Three systemic venous connections to the donor heart-lung bloc were made: recipient left-sided superior vena cava (rLSVC) to donor superior vena cava (dSVC) and innominate vein (behind the aorta [Ao]), recipient right-sided superior vena cava (rRSVC) to donor right atrial appendage, and direct inferior vena cava (IVC) to IVC. (D) Post heart-lung transplant chest x-ray (left) and computed tomography (right); the heart is in its normal levocardia position.
