Venous Stent Migration into Right Ventricle

Venous stents (VS) are used to treat central and peripheral stenoses. Stent embolization into a cardiac chamber is a rare, yet serious complication. We present a case of a 61-year-old man with a recently stented arteriovenous graft venous stenosis who developed VS migration into the right ventricle,...

description Venous stents (VS) are used to treat central and peripheral stenoses. Stent embolization into a cardiac chamber is a rare, yet serious complication. We present a case of a 61-year-old man with a recently stented arteriovenous graft venous stenosis who developed VS migration into the right ventricle, associated with S. aureus bacteremia.
