Surgical removal of knotted intravascular device in the right femoral artery Case Report and Review of the Literature
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract: We report the case of a 75-year-old female patient who underwent digital subtraction angiography because there was suspicion of cerebral arteriovenous malformation. Fluoroscopy reveals that the Impulse Flextrusion ™ Shaft FR4 6F catheter (Boston Scientific) was completely knotted and entrapped in the right femoral artery. We attempted to remove the catheter through the EN Snare Endovascular Snare System, this being unsuccessful, so we decided the surgical exploration of the right femoral artery could completely withdraw the catheter knotted and entrapped without any complication. Keywords: catheters, intravascular devices, knotting, surgical removal.
