  • Title: Percutaneous retrieval of a broken catheter from the pulmonary artery.
    Author: Mautone A, Pitscheider W, Desiato R.
    Journal: J Interv Cardiol; 2006 Feb; 19(1):81-6. PubMed ID: 16483345.
    Abstract:
    We describe a case regarding the percutaneous retrieval of a broken catheter from the pulmonary artery of a 54-year-old female patient in which we successfully used a "Goose Neck" snare. The analysis of relevant literature and the successful outcome of the case confirm that the percutaneous retrieval of a foreign body is a feasible, sure, and effective procedure.
