Self expandable stents are being used increasingly in conjunction with balloon dilatation for trearment of innominate vein stenosis. Stent misplacement or migration is a complication of the procedure, and may be symptomatic and warrant repositioning or removal.

This report illustrates percutaneous endovascular removal of a migrated stent from the superior vena cava using a Goose neck snare
