Abstract:
The incidence of guiding catheter tip fracture, is quite rare during percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). Retained broken catheter tip in coronary artery and circulation can result in serious complications such as thrombosis, embolism, acute occlusion and myocardial infarction, arrhythmias and sepsis. It is mandatory to remove the fractured catheter as soon as possible to avoid these complications. Transcatheter removal is the treatment of choice. If percutaneous removal is failed, surgical intervention is advised.

Freezing Point Depression and Boiling Point Elevation
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to ambient atmospheric pressure. Since the vapor pressure of a solution is lowered due to the presence of nonvolatile solutes, it stands to reason that the solution’s boiling point will subsequently be increased. Vapor pressure increases with temperature, and so a solution will require a higher temperature than will pure solvent to achieve any given vapor pressure, including one...
