Review
A four-year-old boy who had isolated levocardia associated with left atrial isomerism, polysplenia and tetralogy of Fallot underwent successful corrective surgery. In addition, these anomalies were complicated by interrupted inferior vena cava, azygos continuation, and total anomalous hepatic venous connection. Because of these systemic venous anomalies, cardiopulmonary bypass presented us some problems of venous cannulations. We used 4 direct venous cannulations; i.e., superior vena cava, persistent left superior vena cava through coronary sinus, azygos vein and hepatic vein. Reports of total correction in patients with isolated levocardia associated with tetralogy of Fallot are rare, and we report the case with some reviews of the related literature.

Review
A significant number of patients with dextrocardia and other cardiac malpositions have other congenital heart defects (CHDs). The incidence of CHDs in subjects with cardiac malpositions is significantly greater than that in normal children, and the prevalence varies with the associated visceroatrial situs. The most useful approach to diagnosis is segmental analysis. Firstly, dextroposition should be excluded. In segmental analysis, the visceroatrial situs, ventricular location, status of atrioventricular connections, the great artery relationship, and conotruncal relationship are determined with the use of electrocardiogram (ECG), chest X-ray, and echocardiographic studies, and, when necessary, other imaging studies, including angiography. Following identification of the afore-mentioned segments, the associated defects in the atrial and ventricular septae, valvar and vascular stenosis or atresia may be determined by a review of the historical information, physical examination, and analysis of chest roentgenogram, ECG, and echocardiographic studies. Along the way, a pictorial rendition of the terminology and diagnosis of cardiac malpositions is undertaken.

Review
It has been demonstrated that echocardiography is a useful and accurate noninvasive technique for the study of congenital cardiovascular diseases. This method provides significant information in that invasive cardiac catheterization and angiocardiography can be planned with greater facility. This is especially important in severely ill babies in whom invasive diagnostic methods are risky. It is particularly attractive in neonates in whom the clinical differentiation of lethal heart disease from septic shock is difficult, since in the latter situation the echographic findings are normal.
