[Intracardiac migration of the ureteral single-J : A case report and removal techniques]

The techniques of derivation of the high urinary tract are indispensable in common practice for the management of ureteral obstructions. Like any surgical gesture, its techniques are not without complications; Among those common are hematuria, urinary incontinence, migration in the bladder and rupture of the probe. However, intracardiac probe migration has rarely been described. We report the case of a 68-year-old patient treated for cervical cancer who benefited from the rise of a bilateral single-J probe, admitted for accidental migration of the left probe into the heart. The diagnosis was made by plain abdominal X-ray and confirmed by thoraco-abdominal CT angiography. The patient benefited, in the catheterization room, from a withdrawal of the probe by endoscopic way and under radioscopic control successfully and without any incident.
