Removal of catheter fragments from pulmonary artery using a snare.
In two patients, indwelling polyethylene catheters embolized to the pulmonary artery after being dislodged into the venous circulation during resuscitative efforts. Both were successfully extracted using a snare catheter. The use of radio-opaque material for indwelling catheters provides a valuable aid in the event of one being dislodged. The use of the snare catheter may obviate the needfor th...
متن کاملSuccessful Image-Guided Retrieval of an Embolized Fragment of a Fractured Haemodialysis Catheter Tip from the Pulmonary Artery
BACKGROUND Cuffed, double-lumen, tunneled haemodialysis catheters are a common means of vascular access in paediatric haemodialysis, particularly in infants. Haemodialysis catheter fracture with distal embolization is a rare complication. CASE REPORT A 2-year-old boy was receiving chronic haemodialysis via a right internal jugular cuffed, double-lumen, tunneled haemodialysis catheter, inserte...
متن کاملpercutaneous retrieval of an embolized catheter tip with the balloon dilatation technique
conclusions the present case appears to offer a safe and relatively simple method of balloon dilatation inside the lumen of the embolized fragment when the foreign body is too distal to retrieve with conventional snare systems. introduction increasing numbers of complex percutaneous coronary interventions have been accompanied by various intra-procedural complications. the fracture and emboliza...
متن کاملPercutaneous Retrieval of an Embolized Catheter Tip With the Balloon Dilatation Technique
INTRODUCTION Increasing numbers of complex percutaneous coronary interventions have been accompanied by various intra-procedural complications. The fracture and embolization of devices or their fragments are potentially life-threatening situations, depending on the site of embolization. Different non-surgical methods to handle embolic complications have been proposed for different clinical situ...
متن کاملUnexpected complication- fracture of the IVUS catheter and percutaneous retrieval of a broken IVUS catheter tip from the right coronary artery.
Fracture of the IVUS catheter is very rare and, but when occurs they may lead to life-threating complications, such as embolization, thrombus formation and perforation. A 58-year-old man who had history of smoking, dyslipidemia and type II diabetes mellitus presented with an inferior ST-elevation myocardial infarction and underwent emergent coronary angiography.
