Abstract:
In the process of forceful pulling out of an entangled placement guidewire, the percutaneous heart pump catheter folded in on itself and, on withdrawal farther down in the aorta, became impacted in the right common iliac artery. We describe the removal of this impacted catheter with the help of snare. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).
