Femoral Vein Stent Migration to Right Atrium on POCUS Echocardiogram

Pt 2mos s/p femoral vein stent presents with chest pain. This is her ultrasound. 
RESOLUTION: Fem stent (hyperechoic ring) migrated to RA-->published complications incl. aortic/RA fistula (this pt had), AV block/arrhythmias, PE, pceff. Endocarditis may occur after time, but pts tend to be managed shortly after migration.

Vascular Stent Migration and Embolization on POCUS Echocardiogram (S4C) 40 year old female with bilateral lower extremity edema, suspected May-Thurner Syndrome and stented bilateral iliac veins. Look where it ended. I could not snare it out as it was stuck in RV apex. Had to be removed with surgery...

Chronic Femoral Vein DVT Transducer is over R proximal thigh, indicator directed laterally. Virchow’s triad (venous stasis, hypercoagulable state, vein damage) led to this finding (DVT). There is right femoral vein DVT, likely chronic given the echogenicity of the thrombus Dr. Meghan Herbst @EUSmkh #Chronic #Femoral #Vein #DVT #clinical #ultrasound #POCUS #thombosis #radiology

Malignant Pericardial Effusion causing Cardiac Tamponade on Echocardiogram (S4c) Hypotensive + respiratory distress. At first glance you might think "RV looks weird". Its actually an effusion crushing the RV so you can't see it. This is cardiac tamponade! Patient arrests. Bedside pericardiocentesis → ROSC. Repeat echo shows improved filling! After window, found to have tumor infiltration of pericardium Dr. Michael I.
