Retained Foley balloon catheters occurred due to balloon deflation failure. Radiological techniques successfully managed all fourteen cases, with two methods recommended for retrieval.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Medical Devices
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Retained intravesical Foley balloon catheters present a clinical challenge.
  • Failure of the balloon to deflate is a common cause of retention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze cases of retained Foley balloon catheters.
  • To review and recommend management strategies for deflated Foley balloon retrieval.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of fourteen cases of retained Foley balloon catheters.
  • Evaluation of radiological techniques for Foley balloon catheter retrieval.

Main Results:

  • Fourteen cases of retained Foley balloon catheters were identified between 1988 and 1989.
  • All cases resulted from balloon deflation failure.

  • Successful management was achieved in all cases using radiological techniques.

    • Conclusions:

    • Radiological techniques are effective for managing retained Foley balloon catheters.
    • Two specific methods are recommended for Foley balloon retrieval in cases of deflation failure.
