Severe Tricuspid Regurgitation Secondary to Subclavian Vein Stent Migration

Long term central venous access is associated with many complications such as central venous stenosis which can occur in up to half of long term central lines. Many treatment modalities are employed such as transluminal angioplasty, arthrectomy and stents to improve vascular flow. We report a case of a subclavian vein stent migration to the right atrium causing tricuspid valve regurgitation. The patient was asymptomatic and therefore treated conservatively.
