We report a case of a shrapnel injury to the right thigh in which a foreign body had lodged in, and moved freely from, the femoral vein to the inferior vena cava and right atrium. However, instead of going into the right ventricle and pulmonary artery, it lodged itself in the superior vena cava-azygous junction. During the entire period, the patient remained asymptomatic and the foreign body was surgically retrieved uneventfully.
我们报告了一例右大腿弹片伤的病例，其中一个异物从股静脉自由移动到下腔静脉和右心房。然而，它并没有进入右心室和肺动脉，而是卡在了上腔静脉-奇静脉交界处。在整个过程中，患者一直无症状，异物被成功地通过手术取出。
