Abstract
Orthotopic heart transplantation was successfully performed in a 62-year-old man by use of a heart harvested from a donor with situs inversus. This procedure is a reasonable alternative when no other donor is available. The technique of this operation is described here. A month later the patient was discharged in good condition and is still doing well 1 year after the transplantation.
