Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Catheter Visualized by Transesophageal Echocardiography

Transesophageal echocardiography (apical 4-chamber view [A] and short-axis view [B]) showed the catheter entering the internal jugular vein, passing through the right atrium and ventricle, and intermittently crossing the pulmonary valve, with resultant moderate tricuspid regurgitation.
