Abstract
A 48-year-old man with recurrent cerebral ischemic events underwent transesophageal echocardiography to investigate cardioembolic sources because transthoracic echocardiography had spotted a dubious filamentous mass on the mitral valve. A venous umbilical catheter, lost during the hospital stay after his birth, was surprisingly identified in his cardiac chambers. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.)| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
