Spontaneous Migration of Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Into the Right Heart and Pulmonary Vasculature
Abstract
A 73-year-old woman with ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt presented for stress echocardiogram for evaluation of chest pain. Transthoracic echocardiogram revealed an incidental right heart mass representing a migrated VP shunt. This case highlights the role of multimodality cardiac imaging in diagnosing right heart masses and the multidisciplinary approach to management.
