Abstract
A 41-year-old male patient presented to the hospital with chest tightness and intermittent chest pain. Cardiac ultrasonography revealed a metallic foreign body in the right ventricle, accompanied by tricuspid insufficiency. A chest computed tomographic scan further confirmed a foreign body stuck at the opening of the tricuspid valve. The 14- × 40-mm stent was removed from the right ventricle through a thoracotomy. The patient had undergone left renal venous stenting 1 month earlier for treatment of nutcracker syndrome. Thus, for patients who have received left renal venous stenting for treatment of nutcracker syndrome, clinicians should pay due attention to stent graft migration.
