A novel snare device, made from a J-wire and catheter, safely removes intravascular catheter fragments. This simple tool offers an effective solution for embolized catheter retrieval in patients.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular surgery
  • Interventional radiology
  • Medical device innovation

Background:

  • Intravascular catheter fragments pose a significant risk of embolization.
  • Current retrieval methods can be complex or carry inherent risks.
  • Need for accessible and effective tools for fragment removal is critical.

Observation:

  • Three patients presented with retained intravascular catheter fragments.
  • A custom-made snare device was successfully employed for retrieval in all cases.
  • The device was constructed using readily available materials: a 0.038-inch movable-core J-wire and a multi-purpose catheter.

Findings:

  • The easily manufactured snare device demonstrated high efficacy in removing embolized catheter fragments.
  • The device's simple design facilitated easy manipulation and safe deployment.

  • Successful retrieval was achieved in all three reported patient cases.

    • Implications:

    • This J-wire and catheter-based snare offers a cost-effective and practical solution for intravascular foreign body retrieval.
    • The technique may reduce procedural time and potential complications associated with embolized fragments.
    • Highlights the potential of simple, physician-created devices in interventional procedures.
