  • Title: [Percutaneous removal of an intravascular foreign body using a modified loop-snare technic].
    Author: Eppen R, Pohlenz O.
    Journal: Radiologe; 1988 May; 28(5):224-7. PubMed ID: 3393643.
    Abstract:
    Successful percutaneous removal of embolized intravenous catheters in two patients is described. The long duration of intravascular presence of the foreign bodies necessitated an adaptation of the familiar loop-snare technique. Percutaneous, transluminal retrieval is the method of choice for the removal of intravascular foreign bodies and should be performed in preference to surgical management whenever possible.
