Abstract

Catheter and guidewire fragments left remaining in the cardiovascular system induce a high incidence of morbidity. Percutaneous removal of these fragments was attempted in 13 patients, with complete success in 10, partial success in two, and the fragment was extraluminal in one patient. Technique of foreign body removal and problems encountered are discussed.
