Vascular Access Stent Migration in a Patient with Atrial Fibrillation – A Case Report

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a relatively commonly encountered tachyarrhythmia, with its prevalence increasing with increase in age. AF is usually associated with an underlying cardiac disease, but transient AF has also been reported from mechanical stretch and compression. However, to our knowledge, there are no reports of vascular stent migration to intra-cardiac cavity causing AF. We present a case of endovascular stent migration into the cardiac cavities which could have triggered the AF in presence of other risk factors.
