Therefore, the occurrence of the two conditions is rare. Percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is a treatment to prevent atrial fibrillation (AF)-associated thromboembolic events.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>An 85-year-old female with known situs inversus totalis, persistent AF, and stroke was treated with oral anticoagulation, but she was suffering from constant gingival bleeding. Her CHA2DS2VASc score was 6 points (abnormal,\u2009\u2265\u20092), and her HAS-BLED score was 4 points (abnormal,\u2009\u2265\u20093). The transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) demonstrated left atrial (LA) enlargement (46\u00a0mm) and 50% of ejection fraction. She underwent percutaneous LAAO for stroke recurrence prevention using a Watchman occluder. The operation was successful but with technical differences compared with a standard case because of the dextrocardia.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>This is the first reported case of a percutaneous LAAO in situs inversus dextrocardia.
