  • Title: Nonsurgical removal of a catheter embolus from the heart of a foal.
    Author: Hoskinson JJ, Wooten P, Evans R.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1991 Jul 15; 199(2):233-5. PubMed ID: 1890034.
    Abstract:
    Nonsurgical, percutaneous, transvenous removal of a catheter fragment embolus was performed in a 14-day-old Thoroughbred foal. A basket retrieval catheter was introduced into the jugular vein and manipulated under fluoroscopic guidance to remove the fragment from the right side of the heart. Percutaneous retrieval should be considered as an alternative to thoracotomy for retrieval of intracardiac or intravascular foreign bodies.
