Summary

This session addresses the complexities of retrievals, foreign bodies, and entrapments in interventional cardiology. It presents clinical cases illustrating percutaneous retrieval techniques, management of catheter fractures, iatrogenic dissections, and innovative solutions for challenging scenarios. Emphasis is placed on precision, prevention strategies, and effective problem-solving to mitigate procedural risks and complications.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • A harrowing voyage to retrieve the one piece treasure
  • Entrapped radial catheters due to torqueing: a case series of two percutaneous retrieval techniques
  • Retrieval of fractured catheter tip during coronary angiogram
  • Succesful management of iatrogenic aortocoronary dissection induced by guide extension catheter
  • Steering in the dark
  • Precision without borders: unforeseen challenge, unprecedented solution
  • Small, but mighty: radial solution to a femoral challenge
  • The ticking bomb in transit: how to prevent a disaster
