Abstract: Introduction Double Chamber Right Ventricle (DCRV) and dextrocardia are two congenital cardiac conditions with rare incidence. A combination of both these condition is extremely rare with only one reported case to the best of our knowledge. Case 8year old patient diagnosed with DCRV dextrocardia successfully underwent intra cardiac repair at our institute. Background We present a case report of this case, giving a description of its anatomy and our surgical approach to it. We give an account of our unconventional left sided approach to it. Conclusion Left sided approach in dextrocardia is an easier approach and gives a better visualization of VSD in DCRV.
