Abstract:
During removal of an entrapped guidewire, the core wire can fracture, allowing stretching of the spring wire while the distal guidewire is still entrapped. We resolved this issue with rotational atherectomy, allowing cutting of the spring wire at the intended site, regardless of the proximal spring wire fracture. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).
