Abstract:
Continuous technological development and modern construction of guidewires make percutaneous interventions safer than ever. Complications associated with device failure are rare and most of them may be avoided. We describe a case where hydrophilic coating of a jailed guidewire was peeled off in the coronary tree and successfully retrieved in percutaneous fashion.
