Abstract

Metal endoclips are frequently utilized in surgical procedures. Within the medical literature, metal endoclip migration following general surgical procedures is a widely studied complication. However, examples of thoracic metal endoclip migration are, as yet, absent in the medical literature. This case study seeks to provide the first clear example of such thoracic metal endoclip migration.
