Postero-anterior chest X-ray showed a port catheter fragment previously thought to be in the right atrium at the level of 8-9 thoracic vertebrae.

Chest X-ray showed a port catheter fragment, previously thought to be in the right atrium, at the level of 8-9 thoracic vertebrae (Figure 1).
Port catheter fragment was visualized upon right heart catheterization. (A and B) Angiography of the right atrium and ventricle. (C) Fragment was posterior to the right ventricular outflow tract and pulmonary trunk. These indicate that the position of the port catheter fragment was within coronary sinus.

Right heart catheterization showed that the port catheter fragment was in the coronary sinus (Figure 2A and B). Angiography of the right outflow tract indicates that the fragment was not in the outflow tract or pulmonary arteries but posterior to it (Figure 2C).
Echocardiography was suggestive that the port catheter fragment had migrated into the coronary sinus.

Echocardiography reassured us that the fragment was located in the coronary sinus (Figure 3).
