  • Title: Percutaneous extraction of an embolized hyperalimentation catheter fragment.
    Author: Fisher RG, Mattox KL.
    Journal: South Med J; 1978 Nov; 71(11):1438-9. PubMed ID: 102037.
    Abstract:
    Extraction of an embolized catheter fragment from an infant's heart was accomplished using a loop wire snare. At the time of extraction, a cutdown venotomy was necessary to avoid damaging the femoral vein. This is the eighth reported case of nonsurgical extraction in children under the age of 10 years.
