A rare etiology of frequent ventricular ectopy: Embolic complication of a venous iliac stent to the right ventricle

Peripheral venous stent migration is an exceedingly rare complication of endovascular stenting. In this clinical vignette, we present a case of a 74‐year‐old male with a history of endo‐venous laser ablation therapy of the right greater saphenous vein complicated with an occlusion requiring a left i...

Zusammenfassung:Peripheral venous stent migration is an exceedingly rare complication of endovascular stenting. In this clinical vignette, we present a case of a 74‐year‐old male with a history of endo‐venous laser ablation therapy of the right greater saphenous vein complicated with an occlusion requiring a left iliac vein stent. The patient presented to the clinic months after the procedure with complaints of palpitations. Multimodality imaging revealed a stent that had become dislodged and was now located in the right ventricle, trapped within the tricuspid valve apparatus.
