  Fig. 1 A: Transthoracic echocardiogram apical four chambers view showing the displaced subclavian stent in the right atrium. B: Normal flow and no signs of turbulence within the displaced stent by color Doppler. C, D, and E: Transesophageal echocardiogram views with zoomed in imaging of the right atrium. At zero degrees the subclavian stent can be seen in short axis clearly (C). At 103 degrees angle the stent can be seen in long axis originating at the superior vena cava-right atrial junction with normal flow and no signs of turbulence by color Doppler (D and E). F: Transesophageal echocardiography showing contrast medium passing through the patent foramen ovale.
