A member asked:
How much more difficult is it for doctors to perform a heart transplant if the patient has sinus inversus?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
SITUS Inversus?: Situs inversus is a condition where the body's organs are backwards (heart on right, liver on left, etc). I'm not a cardiothoracic surgeon but i'm sure that this condition will make a heart transplant substantially more difficult. I did a quick search, and i can tell you that it has been performed, but it would be best to seek out a top notch transplant program. Good luck!

Same: Should not make much difference as long as there are no additional vessels abnormalities.
