Panel A Chest radiograph reveals DSI with left-sided liver and right-sided stomach. Panel B Cardiac CT scan shows the inferior and superior vena cava connecting to the RA on the left side, and the structure and position of all four cardiac chambers presents a mirror image of a normal heart.Panel C The 3D anatomical reconstruction of the LA acquired with ICE is merging with reconstructions by the ablation catheter in the RMN system. Panel D The magnetic ablation catheter is positioned in the left inferior PV in RAO view, with a multipolar electrode catheter in CS and ICE catheter at mid-RA. Panel E The magnetic ablation catheter along with the steerable sheath forms a large loop in LA when ablating right PV in RAO view. Panel F The 3D electroanatomical reconstruction of the LA and PVs is created using the CARTO and RMN system, merging with pre-acquired CT image. Red dots indicate the ablation line around the bilateral PVs
