Abstract:
After graft repair of an ascending aortic aneurysm, a patient was seen by us with a chest x-ray film indicating a retained foreign body. Mediastinal exploration had been unrevealing. Transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated the nature and exact location of the foreign body and therefore was instrumental in directing its retrieval.
