Abstract
A linear intracardiac foreign body was identified following a total hip replacement (THR) on chest CT and transesophageal echocardiography in a 60-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis. Leakage and migration of bone cement during arthroplasty is a possible explanation for this rare complication. Therefore, adequate preparation and handling of cement using biplane fluoroscopy are recommended during arthroplasty.
