Abstract
Percutaneous intervention for central vein occlusion is getting popular. Self-expandable stent is user-friendly in this field, however, jump-out displacement may happen. An 82-year-old woman with end-stage renal disease and central vein occlusion underwent central vein stenting. Dislodgement of the self-expandable stent was encountered. Migration into right ventricle and subsequently right pulmonary artery was noted. Chest films of this rare condition were reported.
