Abstract:
Successful percutaneous removal of embolized intravenous catheters in two patients is described. The long duration of intravascular presence of the foreign bodies necessitated an adaptation of the familiar loop-snare technique. Percutaneous, transluminal retrieval is the method of choice for the removal of intravascular foreign bodies and should be performed in preference to surgical management whenever possible.
