Intra-cardiac foreign bodies are a rare occurrence and there is minimal literature on retention of sutures following cardiac surgery. This is an unusual case of a retained intracardiac prolene suture following surgical correction of Tetralogy of Fallot in a 6 month old patient. The patient had an uneventful post-surgical recovery but a foreign body was identified on a routine post-operative transthoracic echocardiogram. Due to the uncertain nature of the structure, the patient underwent fluoroscopy, chest X-ray and a cardiac CT which were unable to identify the nature of the structure. The best modality for identification was echocardiography, which consistently demonstrated the origin, and course of the suture. Due to a high level of suspicion and consistent findings on echocardiograms, the patient underwent surgical exploration 10 days following surgery and a prolene suture was identified originating in the right upper pulmonary vein extending though the mitral and aortic valve to the transverse aortic arch. This was thought to be from the purse string suture used for the left ventricular vent inserted via the right upper pulmonary vein during surgery.

Percutaneous Transluminal

This report details a method of percutaneous, transluminal retrieval of an intracardiac foreign body using fluoroscopy in combination with intracardiac echocardiography. During retrieval, intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) provided real-time anatomic localization of a constantly moving, almost radiolucent micropuncture coaxial dilator fragment with respect to the tricuspid and pulmonary valves. This method may serve as a crucial aid in retrieval of intracardiac foreign bodies that are difficult to see with fluoroscopy and which may be adjacent to cardiac valves.
