Catheter fragment retrieved from an arterial branch of the right middle cerebral artery

Abstract: Background: Cerebral emboli is a rare complication of endovascular procedures and foreign bodies in the cerebrovascular system can lead to stroke. When an intravascular foreign body is identified, endovascular retrieval should be attempted due to its high success rate and minimal morbidity. Case Description: A 59-year-old male patient underwent cine-coronario-graphy through a trans-radial approach because of angina. During the study, a 6Fr catheter fragment ruptured, detached and migrated to a right middle c… Show more

“…In this case, we believed that the best option was the gooseneck snare. The gooseneck snare is made of nickel-titanium cables and produced with different loop sizes (5,10,15,25, and 35 mm) [14]. When the wire is deployed, the loop is oriented at right angles to the cable, and when pulled, the lost catheter fragment would be trapped between the wire and the outer catheter.…”

“…Without early diagnosis and treatment, foreign body residue remains a major cause of morbidities, such as subcutaneous emphysema, pneumomediastinum, and hemopneumothorax [9]. Furthermore, an intravascular foreign body can migrate further and reach the brain, heart, or other organs [10, 11]. To avoid these complications, the procedure should be stopped if a catheter fragment escapes during guidewire threading.…”

“…Since the first case report by Thomas et al in 1964 [1], forceps, baskets, and snare devices have been used for this purpose [2][3][4][5]. Most IFBs are iatrogenic, e.g., wire fragments, catheter fragments, inferior vena cava filters, coils, and stents [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. We report a rare case of misinsertion of a pigtail catheter straightener into the common iliac artery during angioplasty for infrarenal aortic stenosis.…”
