Heterotaxy and isomerism of the atrial appendages☆ [PDF]
European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2011 Several of the assertions made by Serraf and colleagues [1], when describing heterotaxy syndrome, should be questioned. The syndrome is, indeed, a disorder that involves ‘abnormal lateralization of the abdominal viscera, thoracic organs and cardiac atria’; but this definition would include patients having so-called ‘situs inversus’. In support of their
