The safety and efficacy of the Cox-Maze IV procedure (CMP-IV) for situs inversus dextrocardia patients with atrial fibrillation is yet to be determined. Herein, we present the case of a 39-year-old male patient admitted to our cardiac center following progressive exertional dyspnea. The patient was diagnosed with situs inversus dextrocardia, severe mitral regurgitation, and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. A three-dimensional (3D) heart model printing device embedded with designated ablation lines was used for pre-operative planning. Mitral valvuloplasty, CMP-IV, and tricuspid annuloplasty were performed. The patient had an uneventful recovery and was in sinus rhythm during a 12-month follow-up period using a 24-h Holter monitoring device. The case herein is one of the first to report on adopting the CMP-IV procedure for situs inversus dextrocardia patients with complex valvuloplasty operation. In addition, the 3D printing technique enabled us to practice the Cox-maze IV procedure, given the patient's unique cardiac anatomy.

Patients with rapidly progressing periodontitis may require extractions of teeth with poor periodontal prognosis. Although replacement with a dental implant is a popular choice, teeth autotransplantation remains a viable option. Herein, we report a case of a 23-year-old patient with rapidly progressing periodontitis resulting in severe clinical attachment loss on the left maxillary first molar, which required extraction. The tooth was replaced by tooth autotransplantation of the unerupted immature left mandibular third molar, which was delivered carefully without compromising the periodontal ligament. Cone beam computed tomography and three-dimensional printing of the third molar donor tooth significantly aided the tooth autotransplantation procedure. Recovery was uneventful. At the 1-year follow-up, healthy periodontal parameters and radiographic features were noted, and the autotransplanted tooth remained vital. This case showed that tooth autotransplantation is a viable option for replacing tooth loss due to rapidly progressing periodontitis.
