摘　　要：Dextrocardia is a rare anomaly where the heart is located on the right side of the chest instead of the normal left side. Ablation of atrial fibrillation （AF） with such an inverted anatomy may be challenging for the manipulation of the catheters. Here we report a case of dextrocardia who underwent ablation for persistent AF guided by image integration system.Dextrocardia is a rare anomaly where the heart is located on the right side of the chest instead of the normal left side.
