Abstract:
Transluminal extraction catheter atherectomy has been shown to be a clinically effective interventional technique for the treatment of thrombotic degenerative saphenous vein bypass grafts. We will report the first case of detachment of transluminal extraction catheter cutter head from the shaft and its successful retrieval during a saphenous vein bypass graft intervention.
