RESUMO
Iatrogenic injuries with migrated interventional stents can sometimes be life-threatening. The interventional retrieval management is generally the treatment of choice, as surgical procedures carry a high mortality risk with only a few cases reported. We report a patient with two stents migrated into the right atrium from superior vena cava resulting in cardiac perforation. She was successfully treated using pericardiocentesis followed by surgical intervention with rapid post-operative resolution of symptoms. The technique presented here substantiates the steps for a safe and effective removal of these multiple displaced stents with minimal postprocedural complications.
