title: [Pulmonary migration of an axillary stent in a chronic hemodialysis patient].
abstract: The short-lived results of angioplasty for venous stenosis of a dialysis access led to stent placement. Its migration is a rare but dangerous complication, because of its final destination, that is right heart or pulmonary artery. We report on such a case and compare it with three cases found in literature.
