ABSTRACT

We report our experience of 15 patients seen in this department. All of them had strange bodies (SB) “embolic fragments” of catheters in the vascular bed or intracardiac cavities, that were extracted successfully using right femoral percutaneous via with the help of a multipurpouse basket or/and a device disegned and adapted by our team using a heart catheterism kit with a 8 French Myller wire which had a distal extreme cut and it was introduced a 36 inches wire covered with teflon which was formed a handle to catch the fragment of the catheter. The 66% was female, 33% male, with an age range of 19 to 79 years and an average of 55 years. The anatomical sites: eight (53.3%) in right auricule, five (33.3%) in pulmonar main artery (13.3%) in the aorta. The method used for the extraction of the SB: in six (40%) with the multipurpouse basket and nine (60%) with a wire in handle and a catheter. One patient was complicated (arterial thrombosis) and was undergone to surgical intervention. Conclusion: We consider that our results are successful and satisfactory, we think that the extraction of embolic fragments of catheters can be retired by using two techniques with fewer complications.
