One hour postprocedural echocardiography and computed tomography scan ( Fig. 1 ) revealed stent migration into the subvalvular chordal structures of the right ventricle causing significant tricuspid regurgitation.
Intraoperative finding: Removal of the stent from the tricuspid valve apparatus.

 Despite the fact, that the stent was entrapped by subvalvular chordal structures of the tricuspid valve due to the stent design with wire brackets, it was possible to recover it without harming the tricuspid valve and adjacent structures ( Fig. 2 ).
