Abstract
Repeat sternotomy after previous open heart operations constitutes a serious risk factor for cardiac injury, particularly in the presence of a patent internal thoracic artery. We report a case of successful minimally invasive removal of a dislocated subclavian vein stent entangled in the tricuspid valve in a patient 5 years after coronary artery bypass surgery.
