Background: Subclavian vein stenosis is not an uncommon condition in end-stage renal failure
patient due to reaction to dialysis central catheters. Methods: This is a case report of a patient with right subclavian vein stenosis treated with
venoplasty and a 12-mm self-expandable stent deployed which has embolized to the right
ventricle. Results: A unique approach of using two snares from the cephalic vein and femoral vein has
been used to retract the stent from the right ventricle to left common femoral vein.
Conclusion: Foreign body inside the heart is a unique and rare situation, and multiple modalities
have been used to deal with this situation; we present one way to dealing with this
complication that can be helpful in future similar cases.
