  • Title: Nonsurgical removal of intravascular fragmented catheter.
    Author: Huang TY, Abaskaron M.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1984 Nov; 30(5):177-80. PubMed ID: 6496271.
    Abstract:
    Embolization of a fragmented catheter in the vasculature is a serious complication. In two patients with catheter fragment emboli, one in the pulmonary artery and one in the right jugular vein, a nonsurgical technique was effective in removing the fragments. Because nonoperative techniques are simple, safe and cost-efficient, they should be considered the method of choice for managing this complication.
