    Summary

    This study successfully retrieved intravascular foreign bodies in 95% of 20 patients, primarily catheter fragments. Percutaneous retrieval offers a high success rate for removing dangerous embolized materials.

    Area of Science:

    • Interventional Cardiology
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Medical Device Safety

    Background:

    • Intravascular foreign bodies, such as fractured catheter fragments, pose significant risks including embolization and vascular damage.
    • Prompt and effective removal is crucial to prevent serious complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous retrieval for intravascular foreign bodies.
    • To analyze the types and locations of retrieved foreign bodies.

    Main Methods:

    • Percutaneous retrieval procedures were performed on 20 patients with intravascular foreign bodies.
    • Foreign bodies included catheter fragments, broken diagnostic catheters, and a bullet.
    • Locations ranged from the superior vena cava to the aortoiliac segment.

    Main Results:

    • Successful percutaneous retrieval was achieved in 95% of cases (19 out of 20 patients).
    • The most common foreign bodies were through-the-needle intravenous catheter fragments (14 cases).
    • Foreign bodies were located in various central veins, pulmonary artery, heart, and aorta.

    Conclusions:

    • Percutaneous retrieval is a highly effective and safe method for managing intravascular foreign bodies.
    • The technique is versatile, applicable to a wide range of foreign body types and locations.
    • Early intervention can prevent severe morbidity associated with retained intravascular devices.
