  • Title: Balloon cuffing and management of the entrapped Foley catheter.
    Author: Gonzalgo ML, Walsh PC.
    Journal: Urology; 2003 Apr; 61(4):825-7. PubMed ID: 12670575.
    Abstract:
    We have experienced the inability to remove silicone Foley catheters even after complete deflation of the balloon. This potential complication can result from cuffing of the catheter balloon. We present a description of this phenomenon and approaches for successful management of a Foley catheter that has become entrapped due to balloon cuffing.
