Fan's of Rob's Radiology - the image shows a port overlying the chest wall on the right and the detached catheter portion embolized into the pulmonary arterial system.
Diagnosis - detached catheter embolized into the PA system.
Next step - Consult IR who can retrieve the tubing with snares under fluoroscopy.
This is an uncommon complication.
