Abstract:
Two stents were placed across the right subclavian vein due to stenosis of the right subclavian vein in a 40-year-old patient with chronic renal failure on hemodialysis. During the follow up period, one of stents migrated into the right ventricle inducing tricuspid valve insufficiency. Percutaneous stent removal had failed and the stent was removed by open heart surgery with Tricuspid valve repair with a good result, and then we report the case.
