Abstract:
Venous insufficiency of the lower limbs is one of the most common vascular disorders affecting millions of people worldwide. Endovascular techniques are considered by current guidelines as simple, safe and effective. Persistence or even migration of foreign bodies after varicose vein endovascular surgery is a rare and unfeared complication. Herein, we present the case of a 39-year-old woman who underwent endoluminal treatment of varicose veins >2 years ago and she was admitted to our department for late cardiovascular complication caused by catheter or guidewire rupture and the dissemination of its fragments in the inferior vena cava, right heart chambers, liver and pulmonary arteries. A systematic verification of the length and integrity of the devices should be performed at the end of every endovascular procedure.
