Abstract
The short-lived results of angioplasty for venous stenosis of a dialysis ac cess led to stent placement. Its migration is a rare but dangerous complica tion, because of its final destination, that is right heart or pulmonary ar tery. We report on such a case and compare it with three cases found in lit erature.
