An Improved Snare Catheter for Retrieving Embolized Fragments of Polyethylene Tubing

Albert L. Hyman M.D., F.C.C.P.1

1 Surgical Cardiopulmonary Laboratory, Tulane University School of Medicine, and the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory, Touro Infirmary, New Orleans

A modification of the doubled-over guide wire technique for retrieval of embolized catheter particles is described. Affixing the flexible end of an exchange guide wire to the outer proximal edge of a No. 6 or 7F cardiac catheter permits easier manipulation of longer catheters, and avoids adherence of the guide wire to the inner catheter lumen.
