We report a 59-year old patient with a double J ureteral catheter displaced out of the ureter through the inferior vena cava and right ventricle. The catheter was removed successfully under cardiopulmonary bypass.

Minimally invasive techniques like an upper "J" hemi-sternotomy can be safely performed without prolonging the aortic clamp time, and with less blood loss, less ventilatory support, and shorter ICU and total hospital stays when compared to conventional methods.
