Percutaneous Transluminal Retrieval of Intraarterial Foreign Body with Basket: A Case Report

Abstract

Popular use of intravascular catheterization of both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes led to increase in iatrogenic intravascular foreign bodies for which percutaneous removal has been accepted as the treatment of choice. The majority of percutaneously removed intravascular foreign bodies are located in the right side of the heart, large veins, and pulmonary arteries and intraarterial foreign body is rare. We recently experienced a case of intraarterial fragmented catheter which was removed with a basket percutaneously without any complication.
