We report a case in which bilateral atriomegaly allowed the assessment of a mitral bioprosthesis and other cardiac structures through a subscapular retrocardiac view, rarely used in clinical practice.

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a common congenital defect in adults; its closure with an occluder device is safe with excellent clinical results. A rare and potentially fatal complication of this procedure is the device embolization. We report a case of a 52-year-old man with bicuspid aortic valve and surgically corrected aortic coarctation in which a PFO occluder device migrated to the abdominal aorta.
